It’s clear that IT service management will only become more automated as we continue our journey into the future. Artificial intelligence is the use of computer software to do many of the tasks that humans would do and to constantly be learning through the analysis of new data. Learn how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is changing the landscape of many IT environments including service management.
Three areas where AI could have a dramatic effect are:
Point of entry
AI will not only be able to translate messages but also to interpret them (through pattern recognition, natural language processing systems, and other technologies) before the information is entered into an IT Service Management system. This will help the computer infrastructure to handle many more requests for service management more precisely and efficiently. Computer programs called chatbots, also known as artificial conversational entities, will be used to handle customer service. As the use of chatbots expands, there will be less need for human interaction.
Automated back-end processes
When AI is combined with service management, the system will be able to learn while handling requests, thus being able to handle future requests in a more sophisticated and accurate manner. The AI database will constantly be updated with everything it learns from past experience.
In addition to handling human requests, service management merged with artificial intelligence and with other network programs will be able to generate its own requests for service. For example, the combination (service management/AI) solution will be able to respond to problems within a network – such as data breaches and unusual problems such as increased computer crashes – directly instead of waiting for a human request to look for or identify network problems. The analysis by the AI service management system will be able to do more than just respond to incidents. It would be able to predict future problems and address how those problems should be handled.
Management of knowledge
Service management combined with artificial intelligence will be able to:
- Train end-users
- Recognize patterns that can be used for a variety of purposes such as solving problems, recognizing dangerous trends, and predicting customer needs
- Provide better documentation
As the number of requests for service management support expands, artificial intelligence will only increase as an attractive addition or alternative to human involvement. The incorporation of AI into service management is just beginning. It may take decades before a full transformation takes place.
Understand future trends such as AI and Service Management
It’s hard to keep current with every type of technology. AI has many businesses and IT possibilities, but the advancements in AI are constantly developing. Learning how these advances can best be used, including how they can change the way service management is done, requires help from experienced IT professionals. The data consultants at Volico are keeping abreast of these rapid changes. Contact Volico to get skilled and clear advice on AI and other service management applications.
