AI Agent Adoption in ESM

Our research examines how AI agents are transforming four critical areas of ESM operations

Service Desk Automation

Tier 1-2 Support Intelligence

AI agents are beginning to handle substantial portions of tier 1 support tickets autonomously. We're researching adoption patterns, implementation challenges, and the real-world impact on service desk operations in enterprise ESM deployments.
  • Automated ticket triage & intelligent routing
  • AI-powered response generation
  • Self-service portal enhancement
Incident Management

Detection, Response & Resolution

From proactive detection to automated resolution, AI agents are reshaping incident management workflows. Our research explores how enterprises are implementing these systems, the challenges they face, and the impact on mean time to resolution.
  • Proactive incident detection
  • Automated root cause analysis
  • Intelligent post-incident documentation
Change Management

AI-Powered Risk Assessment

AI agents are being deployed to assess change risk, predict downstream impact, and streamline approval workflows. We're examining how forward-thinking organizations are using AI in ESM to accelerate safe deployment while maintaining operational stability.
  • Intelligent risk scoring
  • Impact prediction & modeling
  • Automated rollback capabilities
Knowledge Management

Intelligent Documentation Systems
