Use Case in Detail

IT Service Desk & Ticket Triage.

Up to 120,000 tickets per year, 25–30 minutes processing time per case, and only a 40% self-service rate tie up enormous internal resources. An AI co-pilot takes over automatic categorization, resolves standard Level-1 requests immediately (password reset, access rights), and routes complex issues flawlessly to the right specialist groups.

When does this use case make sense?

The Typical Bottleneck (Problem)

  • High internal ticket volume, where 50%+ are pure standard requests (L1).
  • The departments (Level 2 & 3) complain about incorrectly assigned tickets (ping-pong).
  • Employees ignore outdated intranet FAQs and IT portals because the search takes too long.
  • The "time-to-resolve" for simple issues (password) is too high (e.g., days instead of minutes).

The Ideal AI Solution

The AI integrates seamlessly into Zendesk, Jira, or ServiceNow. It reads incoming tickets, categorizes them independently, and immediately provides the solution from the internal knowledge base (RAG). If necessary, it triggers automatic approvals via API or assigns the ticket directly to the correct expert queues.

Less suitable if: Your company has fewer than 50 employees and tickets are handled manually "on demand" without a ticketing system.

The solution in practice

The Process: From Ticket to Solution

1

Multi-Channel Case Acceptance

The user reports a problem via chat or self-service portal. The AI reads the text and analyzes attachments (error message screenshots).

2

Extraction & Action Execution

The system retrieves context (devices, AD data) from the background. If the problem can be solved, the AI provides instructions from the knowledge base or controls the backend system via API.

3

Seamless Handover (L2/L3)

In complex cases, the AI creates the ticket correctly categorized, summarizes the problem, and assigns it to the specialist queue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Details on Implementation in IT Consulting

"Are our IT data and logs secure?"

Absolutely. This concept is typically implemented on enterprise-grade platforms (e.g., Azure EU). Data from tickets is not used to train public models.

"Does the AI replace the IT administrator?"

No. It takes over the L1 "grunt work" job. System administrators can finally focus on infrastructure projects, architecture, security, and L3-level topics without getting bogged down in day-to-day operations.

Vertiefung

Ausgangslage, Wirtschaftlichkeit und Umsetzung.

Damit ein Use Case nicht nur interessant klingt, muss er in Prozessvolumen, Datenlage, Risiko und messbarer Wirkung übersetzt werden.

01

Konkrete Ausgangslage

Der Use Case passt, wenn L1-Tickets, Passwortthemen, Softwarezugänge, Standardfehler und Routing-Fragen einen großen Teil des IT-Supports blockieren.

02

ROI-Logik

Der ROI ergibt sich aus reduzierter Erstbearbeitungszeit, höherer Self-Service-Quote und weniger Fehlrouting. Schon kleine Verbesserungen wirken stark, wenn das Ticketvolumen hoch ist.

Umsetzung in 4 Schritten

  1. Ticketkategorien und historische Lösungswege analysieren.
  2. L1-Wissensartikel und Servicekatalog strukturieren.
  3. Triage-Agent mit sicheren Eskalationsregeln testen.
  4. MTTR, Erstlösungsquote und Routing-Qualität messen.

Entscheidungsfragen vor dem Pilot

  • Welche Ticketarten sind wirklich standardisiert?
  • Wie wird Zugriff auf sensible Systeme abgesichert?
  • Welche Fälle bleiben konsequent beim IT-Team?

ROI-Beispiel

Beispielrechnung: L1-Ticket-Triage

Der rechnerische Jahresaufwand liegt bei ca. 118.800 EUR. Eine 30-Prozent-Entlastung entspricht ca. 35.600 EUR Potenzial pro Jahr.

Wichtig ist, nur gut dokumentierte L1-Fälle zu automatisieren und kritische Berechtigungs- oder Sicherheitsfälle sauber zu eskalieren.
Annahmen
  • 900 L1-Tickets pro Monat
  • 12 Minuten Erstbearbeitung und Routing
  • 55 EUR interne IT-Vollkosten pro Stunde
  • 30 Prozent Entlastung durch Self-Service und Triage
