The IBM approach
Effective user experiences powered by AI
Watson interacts with users in natural language. It provides rapid resolution to Level 1 issues and seamless routing to service desk agents when needed. It also remembers user preferences and devices, so users don’t lose time re-entering their information, as well as their chat history to pass along if routed to a live agent.
Continuous innovation
Built-in Watson Analytics help prioritize IT issues by uncovering insights from ticket data, chat logs and other structured and unstructured data. Watson learns from every interaction it has and can alert service desk agents to potential disruptions before they arise. Meanwhile, IBM data architects continually help analyze, monitor and select available knowledge articles to meet users’ changing needs.
Any device, any time, any location
With Watson on your team, your users get effective and efficient support whenever they need it. Watson never sleeps, never takes a new job, never forgets what it learns and is always security-rich and ready to work for your users.
