Automation in ITSM is transforming the way organizations handle IT support by reducing operational costs, improving service delivery, and boosting productivity. Traditional ITSM tools offer task automation but often fall short in providing true, end-to-end automation without human involvement.

Workativ Assistant bridges this gap with AI-powered self-resolution and seamless integrations, enabling businesses to streamline IT operations, enhance efficiency, and free up valuable IT resources for high-impact tasks.

• Reducing operational costs

• Improving service delivery and reduced service resolution time (MTTR)

• Enhancing work continuity

• Increasing efficiency and staff productivity

• Visibility and control of workflows

Reducing operational costs and MTTR are the areas that are paramount in IT support. The need for automation is common across organizations due to processes that kill productivity. Most often, service desk support agents consume time on low-value tasks and routine work.

Instead, time spent on delivering exceptional customer support and delivering high-value work should be the norm.

Why organizations choose to automate the IT support process

• Cut manual effort

• Level-up IT productivity

• End-to-end automation of service delivery and service support processes

While ITSM tools can automate a lot of everyday tasks, it is not enough as they would still require the involvement of an IT team to handle issues.

• ITSM tools focus on task automations. i.e., ticket routing, ticket classification.

• ITSM tools lack empirical data to trigger automation; they are just not intelligent!

• ITSM tools do not orchestrate with 3rd party applications. The ones that do focus are on Enterprise space and are very expensive.

• The self-service portal approach is static and still requires human intervention.

Automation should be beneficial and add real value to an organization, and in that it should complete the job without human involvement. We term this as true automation.

Self-service in workplace support is useful only when an employee of an organization can genuinely self-resolve issues or requests with ease and reap its merits to the fullest. While it is true that self-service portals are employed by many organizations today, it still nudges employees to reach out for further help from a service desk agent. Furthermore, it relies heavily on the knowledge base and is neither innovative nor productive for employees.

Automated resolution

With a robust AI and automation engine, Workativ Assistant enables automated resolution. Therefore, the mundane and repetitive issues are kept away from the service desk or IT support team, reducing the team’s involvement in low-value tasks.
