ROI on self-service
According to SDI, research shows a significant increase in the adoption of self-service across organizations over the past few years. The study shows that more than 80% of surveyed IT professionals across 300 companies understand that AI is a critical component of their digital transformation. Nearly 50% have already seen measurable ROI from implementing new technologies to drive service levels.
Businesses need to encourage user adoption and maintain usage of the self-service as a gateway for all internal help desk requests to demonstrate the ROI for self-service. In turn, this will increase user productivity and help bring down support costs.

The key to achieving a better ROI on the helpdesk is to have a modern and innovative solution. With Workativ Assistant, you give your employees a creative and engaging self- service that helps them self-resolve IT L1 issues.
Self-serviced tickets vs. IT support-aided tickets
According to MetricNet, on average, self-serviced tickets cost much less than ones that require to be seen by an IT Support agent. So, employee hours and costs can go down considerably with tickets that are self-resolved. Employees' self-resolving tickets reduce the demands that are imposed on the internal support team and reduces cost-per-call.
Say goodbye to increasing support ticket costs!
More tickets to resolve implies that your costs are going to increase, and the situation is not made any better by increasing the size of the support team. Your organization is only going to incur higher costs as a result of hiring more people.
Workativ Assistant is a SaaS-based platform to build a Virtual Assistant that provides Automated Resolution capabilities. Through ‘Automated Resolution,’ employees can get common issues and request resolutions without the need to call the helpdesk.
Automating repetitive tasks means costs saved
Expenses come down when issues become resolved autonomously. Why is saving money on the costs of a ticket relevant? The cost per ticket depends on the level of support required. For example, self-serviced tickets cost less than $2 each, while L1 help desk resolved tickets cost $20 each. That’s 9x the cost savings!
Besides saving up on costs, more employees using Automated Resolution to resolve issues implies that their productivity is going to go up because the mundane and repetitive tasks are automated.
