Most service desks would like to increase their maturity. Allow end users to better help themselves, reduce distractions and repetitive tasks for operators, increase customer satisfaction, work pro-actively, be able to look ahead, prevent problems and be more in control of their processes. However, daily operations prevent them from spending time on this. In this presentation, Arvind explains how AI will enable service desks to make the shift to proactive service management and increase their maturity level. And he shares the AI ideas that TOPdesk has planned for the coming year.
