3 ways automation can improve ITSM and customer service

IT service management (ITSM)—the management and support of IT services—is vital for good customer service. It encompasses problem management, incident management, change and release management, and service-level management. Because it’s an integral part of customer service, it’s important to keep it optimized and streamlined. Here are three ways automation can help with those efforts:

1. Enhance service experiences

Enabling collaboration between your IT services and IT operations teams can add value to your organization and decrease costs. That’s what a single cloud platform offers—plus up to 30% increased productivity.

Watch our Automate and Optimize Technology Service Operations webinar to get more details. ServiceNow Senior VP of Product and Service Management Matt Schvimmer will provide insights from customer use cases, as well as how to get started.

2. Accomplish more—fast

Automating routine tasks can save employees time and free them to focus on the work that matters most. Taking that automation a step further through machine learning offers even greater benefits.

ServiceNow Predictive Intelligence simplifies work by using machine learning to automatically:

• Classify tasks, incidents, and cases

• Suggest tasks and content to help resolve issues fast

• Identify and triage critical incidents

In our Ask the Expert: Predictive Intelligence webinar, two ServiceNow Predictive Intelligence experts address common questions about automation and machine learning.

3. Boost self-service

An AI-powered chatbot can be employed to answer common customer questions, serve content, collect user data, and provide support. ServiceNow Virtual Agent uses natural language understanding (NLU) to carry our conversations with customers and to aid in self-service, such as password resets and system status updates.
