Service Management of the Future: AI, ML, and Automation in ITSM

The problem

Traditional service management relies on manual processes that cannot scale to meet modern employee and consumer expectations; small and medium-size companies in particular lack the resources to build custom automated service solutions.

Workflow diagram · grounded in source

User initiates via voice or self-service

trigger

“AI has introduced a new set of natural-language-processing capabilities (such as popular digital assistants Siri, Alexa and Cortana) that allow users to interact with devices and technology services using voice commands”

AI skills translate commands

“Those commands are then translated through "AI skills" into tasks, queries and commands that are executed in the IT environment”

ML orchestrates complex workflows

ai_action

“ML empowers companies to orchestrate complex workflows efficiently for the many systems that use business rules and pattern recognition”

Automated skill execution without intervention

output

“Once a skill has been "learned," it can be executed repeatedly without human intervention”

IoT real-time monitoring

integration

“IoT and embedded sensors will provide accurate and real-time monitoring of both technological components and end-to-end services”

Reported outcome

Cloud-based service management automation now allows companies of all sizes to deploy self-service capabilities, AI-driven workflows, and automated provisioning that reduce operating costs and improve both employee and customer experiences.
