AI as an aid for the Service management

AI as an aid for the Service management

 

The service and maintenance area of the ERP is responsible for keeping up customer satisfaction minimising their downtime. Also, it assures the standard level of functionality by performing maintenance plans.

 

On the other hand, it involves order management, logistic, personnel organisation, contract management and customer care. Let's see how Artificial Intelligence can help here.

 

On-site service optimisation

 

The service on-site requires intelligent coordination of times, resources and locations. This planning has to consider the duration of a service is often unpredictable. The urgency related to the SLA's conditions plays a significant role independently from the area, and people working time shifts always bring an elevation of complexity.

 

For the AI, each of the factors mentioned above is a parameter in calculating the optimisation. They are all weighted. AI considers all the aspects like, for example, listing at the bottom the postpone-able appointments in case of unpredicted elongation of the previous ones. The automated calculation formulates the daily plan proposal for each person. On each manager's confirmation, the algorithm improves understanding the preferences in the metrics.

 

Maintenance management

 

The process of preserving the customer's systems well-performing has, in some cases, specific conditions like, for example, particular periodic certifications. Furthermore, in some cases, they might need the participation of external organisations that require coordination.

 

In these occurrences, Artificial Intelligence could help automate communication with the customer and the external participants to establish a convenient appointment for the company resources. The algorithm takes into consideration all the factors like deadlines and shifts.

 

Monitoring system alarms

 

When a customer requires a strict SLA for low downtimes, it is worth installing a monitoring system that provides prompt alarms if some parameters exit their established valid range.

 

The monitoring systems usually allow sending even informational data, not strictly related to a system failure. These additional parameters help predict possible malfunctions. Here the ML's algorithm takes into consideration all the metrics and predicts the defect.

 

Conclusions

 

The Artificial Intelligence here helped to provide background calculations that would facilitate the manager's daily choices. The essential value is the adaptation to the conditions.

Who would have imagined 20 years ago that we would carry the internet in our pockets, that our homes would become our offices, that parts of our jobs would one day be carried out by bots, or we’d be able to pay for things without carrying a bank card or cash? Yet here we are in the fourth industrial revolution, with all of these ‘impossibilities’ as a natural part of our day-to-day.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a massive shift in how technology affects our working lives, and it certainly won’t be the last. As a Senior IT business direction professional with over 20 years of management experience, I have helped various businesses adapt to environmental change over the years and am well qualified to help organisations develop for what lies ahead.

I am highly skilled at guiding business leaders to adopt a change mindset, embrace innovation, and deeply refine their stakeholder management. One of my successes in this area comes from my time as a consultant to a fintech startup. I helped influence growth from a localised market with only five people on the team into an international organisation with 60+ multicultural (in-house and offshore) team members in just three years, achieving revenue growth of €2m during the first year alone.

My personal strengths have played a major role in my success as a consultant in the IT space. There are new developments in the IT space every day, and an agile mindset and adaptable approach are key. I’m comfortable leading teams and wearing many hats.

However, I feel that my strongest attribute is my hunger for exciting challenges. As a forward thinker who never settles for the status quo, I am constantly learning and evolving with the new trends and technology available. I have a deep interest in artificial intelligence (AI), mobile payments, and fintech, and all of the developments occurring in these areas.

This is a challenging yet exciting time for the workplace as we know it, and organisations need strong IT on their side. I am confident that my experience, skillset, and expertise would make me a valuable asset to any team. I invite you to connect to discuss opportunities.
