What are the benefits of service desk automation?
There’s a good chance a service desk team survey would show that most of the workday is devoted to managing their ticketing process rather than IT issues. With help desk automation , ticket routing is built into the automated workflow, resulting in a better experience for end-users and your support team.And while the most profound benefits of an automated IT service desk impact your service desk agents and their callers, help desk automation impacts are wide-reaching, including:
Improved Performance Metrics AARI's ticket routing system improves your metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs). Help desk automation allows you to better track your metrics to find areas for improvement and automates the ticketing system by routing the ticket and updating the ticket status for a more productive IT team.
Self-Service Template Creation Intelligent automation turns your ITSM into a tool to empower all users, including non-IT employees. For example, AARI eliminates the need for unnecessary support tickets with chatbots that can walk users through the most common issues, including password resets and software issue troubleshooting.
Simplified Onboarding When new team members join your team, your automated IT help desk can input the new employees' information into your system for the automatic generation of emails and account creation. This eliminates this repetitive task from your IT team's workflow.
Stress-Free System Updates Software and system updates can be a nightmare for IT support agents. However, with AARI, your team can proactively train IQ Bots to resolve issues that commonly arise from these updates.
Automatic Employee Data Updates Often in-house software requires user data updates. Before help desk automation, these updates would have been performed manually by IT team members. With IQ Bots, this is one more task that can be automated.
Daily Reports and Skill Optimization There's no need to run end-of-day reports manually. Automation Anywhere's ITSM generates daily, weekly, monthly, and annual reports. Not only does this allow you to better understand how your team is responding to customer requests, but it allows you to track individual team members' performance to better utilize their time and skills.
Who benefits from an automated service desk?
An automated help desk is more than just help desk software; it's an entire Digital Workforce with a holistic approach to your company's health. AARI improves KPIs with quicker ticket resolution through chatbots and automatic troubleshooting for IT teams.
