What is IT Service?

Core IT Service Management Processes

• Incident Management: Restore normal service as quickly as possible when disruptions occur. Manage critical issues, major incident lifecycle, and get detailed plans of action with the service assistant. Use AI and swarm with experts to keep investigation on track.
• Service Request Management: Handle routine requests such as access, software installation, or password resets. Help users browse an intuitive catalog from a channel of their preference to submit requests and orchestrate the request management process from intake to fulfillment with the unified catalog and automation tools.
• Problem Management: Identify and resolve root causes of recurring incidents. Use AI to summarize and create resolutions and document permanent solutions, known errors, workarounds to help teams in the future.
• Change Management: Control and implement changes to minimize risk and disruption. Ensure changes to IT services are assessed, approved, and implemented.
• Release Management: Plan, schedule, and deploy software or system updates smoothly. Deliver new features, patches, or system updates into production smoothly and reliably.
• Knowledge Management: Capture and share solutions, FAQs, and troubleshooting guides for self-service and faster resolutions. Use AI to draft articles or get intelligent recommendations in the flow of your work.
