Modern Ticketing Challenge 

Enterprises are increasingly adopting digital workflows to support thousands or even hundreds of thousands of employees worldwide. Yet, ticket resolution times remain an ongoing obstacle to efficiency. Common pitfalls include: 

• High Volume of Repetitive Tickets: Simple requests like password resets, email group additions, or equipment requisitions pile up, consuming valuable service desk resources. 

• Limited Standardization: Teams often rely on ad hoc methods or outdated documentation, leading to repetitive knowledge gaps and inconsistent responses. 

• Growing Complexity of IT & HR Landscapes: Rapid expansions in software, employee onboarding, hardware, and cross-department processes demand more elaborate solutions and specialized knowledge. 

• Scattered Knowledge Repositories: Organizational knowledge may be spread across wikis, shared folders, and intranets, making it tough for employees to self-serve or for agents to find the latest solutions. 

Addressing these issues is essential for enterprises to scale effectively. DeskIQ™—Rezolve.ai’s advanced platform—comes to the rescue by combining AI-based automation and knowledge-based strategies to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks, speed up resolution for more complex tickets, and deliver measurable returns on investment.

• Ticket Volume & Categorization: Identifying which departments and processes dominate ticket requests (e.g., Onboarding, Device Management, Access Management). 

• Automation Feasibility: Predicting which tickets are prime candidates for AI-based workflows vs. those best handled by knowledge-centric solutions, such as standardized templates and self-service guides. 

• Potential ROI: Offering quantifiable metrics on how automating or streamlining select tasks can unlock immediate and long-term savings. 

By analyzing ticket details—subject matter, conversation text, resolution steps—DeskIQ™ uncovers patterns in repetitive tasks and knowledge gaps. It scores each ticket for automation readiness and knowledge interventions. 

DeskIQ Approach to Ticket Analysis 

Dividing Tickets into Categories 

DeskIQ™ begins by segmenting incoming tickets into broad categories like: 

• Onboarding and Offboarding 

• Device Management 

• Asset & Configuration Management 

• User Access & Identity Management 

• IT Support Services 

• Technical Support & Service Desk Management 

• …and more 

Each ticket is tagged to one or more categories based on the request type, resolution steps, and required workflows. Within these buckets, DeskIQ™ leverages historical resolution data, similarity clustering, and advanced AI to measure how likely it is that a given task can be automated. 

Two Paths to Automation: AI Solutions & Knowledge Solutions 

From this categorization, DeskIQ™ illuminates two major avenues for speeding up resolutions: 

1. AI Solutions
   These opportunities are tasks that can be fully or partially automated through advanced workflows—often involving a chatbot or a behind-the-scenes integration with existing systems (like employee directories, configuration management tools, or software provisioning APIs).
   AI Solutions typically revolve around:  

1. Workflow Automation (Chatbot Workflow Automation, or CWA) 

2. Task Automation Potential (TAP) through relevant integrations and triggers 

2. Knowledge Solutions
   These opportunities are tickets that may not benefit as fully from direct AI automation but can be handled faster with high-quality knowledge management resources. Examples include:  

1. Pre-built templates and forms for new hire onboarding 

2. Knowledge base documentation with step-by-step instructions 

3. Standardized procedures that can guide both end-users and support teams 

Scoring Models: From Chatbot Workflow Automation (CWA) to Data Collection Through Forms (DCF) 

DeskIQ™ relies on multiple scores to paint a holistic picture of a ticket’s automaton viability. Below are some key metrics: 

• Chatbot Workflow Automation (CWA): Reflects how smoothly a ticket’s resolution can be orchestrated by an AI chatbot, typically measuring how standardized or repetitive the inquiry is. 

• Task Automation Potential (TAP): Indicates if the underlying request can be automatically executed via integrations (e.g., email distribution list changes, device provisioning) once triggered by the chatbot or an automated workflow. 

• Solution Template Potential (STP): Suggests if a ticket can be quickly resolved with standardized templates (e.g., a template for setting up a new employee’s laptop or requesting new hardware). 

• Knowledge Base Relevance (KBR): Measures how effectively a documented article or instructions can address the ticket, indicating that a thorough knowledge base entry could drastically reduce time-to-resolution. 

• Data Collection Through Forms (DCF): Shows how collecting user information in a structured form can expedite the process. For instance, a ticket requesting access to software might ask for specific fields—once the form is submitted, an approval workflow could automatically proceed. 

All these scores help highlight which method of automation—AI-driven or knowledge-driven—would produce the quickest, most cost-effective resolution.

Identifying Key Opportunities for Automation 

As DeskIQ™ analyzes an organization’s ticket data, certain types of tickets stand out as particularly ripe for automation. In many enterprise environments, up to 40% of tickets fall into these high automation categories. DeskIQ™ generally highlights: 

1. Tickets with High AI Automation Potential:
   These are requests that can be seamlessly resolved through chatbot interactions and behind-the-scenes API calls. For example:  

1. Adding a user to a specific email distribution list 

2. Provisioning new software or granting system permissions 

3. Checking and updating employee information in a single sign-on system 

2. Tickets with High Knowledge Base Potential:
   These are inquiries that—while partially or entirely manual—become significantly faster to handle with standardized resources. For example:  

1. Onboarding tasks that need certain user details but are slowed by repeated email requests 

2. Existing process checklists that simply need to be documented and accessible 

3. Known troubleshooting steps for hardware or software issues
