AI in IT Service and Support: Measures of Success

 

To determine if AI is truly AI, we must start with another question - Without human intervention, will the technology reduce ticket volumes, resolve problems more quickly, decrease total cost of ownership (TCO), shift left, and improve the customer experience? If it checks all these boxes – and gets smarter over time – then it’s true AI, powered by machine learning!

Understanding this gives us good insight into the most meaningful metrics for AI because we can measure reductions in ticket volume, resolution times, Total Cost of Ownership, shift left, and the customer experience. An effective AI tool will move the needle on all these metrics – without human intervention!

In this session, we'll learn how to:

  • define metrics for AI
  • measure the performance of AI using industry benchmarks 
  • calculate the ROI of AI in service and support
