1. Service Desk Automation BOT
An EmpFinesseTM Fundamentals Solution

2. Business Context Business Scenario Solution End User Perspective
Has to spend considerable time with L1 service deck executive to communicate the problem
Description put in the Tickets often does not depict the real issue as that depends on executive’s understanding
Even for recurring problems, same procedure is followed and prior experience is not utilized properly
Service Desk Perspective
A sizable line up of L1 service desk resources incurs considerable amount of expenditure for the enterprise
Human L1 service desk is completely dependent on individual skill and knowledge, hence end user satisfaction varies a lot and is subject to executive’s potential
Reference to old incidents often helps to come up with a quick solution which does not happen effectively or even if happens takes long time in case of human driven L1 service desk
Solution
As L1 service desk collects mostly routine information without much analysis of the problem, even machine with limited intelligence can execute the same tasks without human intervention
AI and Automation perspectives through BOT based approach can be a good fit for this
Ticketing BOT or TickBOT will work through Chat [textual or speech] base mode over various channels like web portal, corporate messaging tools like skype, SMS based conversation, Facebook messenger etc.

TickBOT will dig through past incident data and its documented resolutions to ensure that already available resolutions are utilized to offer solutions to users upfront at L1 level itself rather than moving to L2 SMEs
In case, the problem is not resolved by BOT in L1 level, it TickBOT will raise a L2 ticket proactively on behalf of user
