Impact of AI and Automation on Helpdesk

Enhance support with smart technology

The operation of an essential service desk would involve a team taking details, creating tickets, and dispatching the tickets to the right SME. A more upgraded service desk support resolves issues over the phone, allows users to create and update their tickets. It would also have an updated knowledge management content, to allow users to troubleshoot the problems on their own.The more advanced service desk operations involve service catalogs that showcase standard service offerings and the service delivery expectations to the end-users.


The model has worked for many years but, for organizations on a growth trajectory, the cracks begin to show in the service desk operations. The requests start piling up, and the IT internal support team is unable to handle the inflow. Requests are managed by prioritizing and categorizing tickets, with no means of quicker resolution time.

Only a truly automated solution can be a cost-effective and productive solution.

Think AI

AI and automation on the help desk is a reinvention in terms of receiving support and employees managing and supporting themselves autonomously.

A revolutionary self-service model enables users to engage with the IT support team only when necessary, leaving support teams only the complex tasks to handle.

The impact at large is that it maximizes productivity and delivers a better user experience while significantly bringing down helpdesk costs.
