Use cases

Automate IT and non-IT support and services across the full request lifecycle, from intake and tracking through prioritization and fulfillment, using a single ITSM software platform.

  • Deliver intuitive, user-friendly support with AI, searchable knowledge, and a single service portal or mobile app for all requests. When human agents step in, the AI virtual agent supports resolution with ticket summaries and solution suggestions.

  • Give agents a standardized, contextual way to log, categorize, prioritize, and resolve incidents with native CMDB and AI-powered features such as automatic CI detection, incident models, and early problem identification across structured and unstructured data.

  • Use AI to draft knowledge articles and portal news from ticket and incident data, with human review before final publication. This curated knowledge accelerates the resolution of similar issues and expands self-service content to deflect future tickets.

  • Manage IT service changes in a controlled, auditable way, ensuring all changes are properly documented and approved. Capabilities such as a change calendar, impact views, and AI-driven autonomous risk scores help improve change success and reduce unplanned downtime.

  • Apply ITSM best practices to business functions like HR, facilities, finance, procurement, and more. From employee onboarding and payroll changes to fitness reimbursements and remote work requests, deliver user-centric support that spans departments.

  • Optimize the lifecycle of hardware and software assets from purchase to disposal, including maintenance, lifecycle planning, and license compliance. By linking assets to business services and departments, you gain clear visibility into usage, costs, and risk.

    Key features

    Our IT service management software combines codeless configuration, a native CMDB, ITIL-aligned templates, and a private AI virtual agent to simplify operations and reduce service complexity.

    Native CMDB for real-time service visibility

    Out-of-the-box IT and non-IT content

    Provides ITIL-aligned best-practice intake forms and process templates across IT and enterprise services, including HR and facilities, helping you launch service apps faster.
