What Is the Future of AI and Service Management?
Note: this is the first of a series of posts exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will transform the service management industry. To learn more, please download our new whitepaper: “AI’s Transformation of Service Management” and subscribe to our blog to follow along.
AI is a powerful technology that has the potential to transform how organizations deliver services and enhance customer experiences. Yet, AI is not a magic wand that can transcend poor strategy, unaligned teams, and archaic service management architecture. AI also presents as many risks as rewards if not used in a compliant and secure manner. Given this reality, what is the future of AI as it applies to IT Service Management (ITSM) and Enterprise Service Management (ESM)?
At 4me, our vision for the future of AI and service management is clear. We see AI as one of many tools in our service management arsenal, but our vision goes beyond AI. It encompasses the creation of complete solutions that empower IT teams to excel in service delivery, while also achieving other goals, such as improved agility and lowering service costs. In this blog post, we’ll explore this vision, the current reality, and what sets 4me apart as the AI-enabled ITSM and ESM leader.
