In today’s hyper-digital world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is empowering Managed IT Infrastructure Services to deliver a highly personalized Digital Employee Experience (EX, DEX). Organizations using advanced technologies to enhance the digital workplace, can outperform.
The modern business landscape demands that organizations empower productivity and stay ahead of the competition. Progressive enterprises do this by providing employees, customers, and partners with reliable, secure, and scalable digital solutions. New Age workplaces are leveraging AI-enabled IT Infrastructure Services to provide a tailored Digital Employee Experience (EX, DEX). This marks a significant stride in IT service management and sets new standards for DEX in various industries, such as healthcare, banking and finance, retail, etc. AI is no longer just a buzzword but a game-changer. It enables Managed IT Service Providers (MSPs) to automate, optimize, and deliver curated digital workplace experiences to users. Let’s delve into the myriad ways AI is reshaping the realm of Managed IT Services in 2024:
What Do Statistics and Trends Say?
Some interesting statistics from some credible sources:
- According to IBM’s ‘Digital customer care in the age of AI‘ report, Chatbots can handle 80% of routine tasks and customer questions.
- As per another Deloitte survey, 65% of AI adopters report that AI technologies have changed their job roles and necessary skills. Organizations adopting AI in workforce analytics enable them to move ahead of the competition.
- A Deloitte survey indicates that 53% of seasoned and 51% of skilled adopters are more inclined to purchase the AI systems they require compared to beginners (44%).
- According to a recent Gartner survey, 79% of corporate strategists view AI and analytics as indispensable for their success in the coming two years.
How AI Is Empowering Managed IT Services to Deliver Higher EX & DEX
Managed IT Service Providers (MSP) and IT Infrastructure Managed Services (IMS) Providers are leveraging AI to transform IT operations and service delivery to help deliver higher EX and DEX at the workplace. Some of the most effective ways AI can benefit service providers and organizations alike.
1. MSPs & IT Infrastructure Services Providers can harness the Power of AI LLMs:
IT Infrastructure Services is embarking upon a transformational phase. AI-powered infrastructure services will help automate pre-defined processes and enhance operational efficacy. IT Infrastructure Service Providers must decide whether to customize off-the-shelf available AI libraries or create new ones. For example, Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are used to generate coding to fix newly discovered vulnerabilities impacting IT process automation and optimization of existing processes. The challenge, however is to balance automation with staying flexible and adaptable while retaining process integrity.
2. AI can empower customized and personalized digital workplace experience
AI can leverage machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze user data and behaviour, propelling a new era of personalized user experiences. Statistics indicate radical workplace changes with AI; 65% of businesses report that AI has revolutionized their job roles and necessary skills. Microsoft uses AI to enable seamless collaboration and personalized workflows for unprecedented improvement in employee experience. Essential day-to-day tasks like composing emails, making presentations, summarizing meetings, and searching for information are quicker allowing employees to focus on strategic initiatives. AI helps analyze user interactions and communications to generate personalized data-driven decisions.
3. Predictive workplace IT Infrastructure support, and ticket resolution
AI enabled Managed IT services can adopt predictive support models to allow organizations to proactively anticipate and mitigate potential issues before they disrupt operations. Consider a scenario where a manufacturing company relies on a fleet of machinery – AI predictive maintenance ensures uninterrupted production by identifying and addressing issues in real-time. Through AI-enabled predictive maintenance, the organization can continuously monitor the health and performance of its machinery in real-time. By analyzing data patterns and historical maintenance records, AI algorithms can accurately predict potential failures or malfunctions before they occur.
Similarly, KPMG and Microsoft have collectively developed an AI solution that uses Azure Open AI Service to analyze ESG (Environment Social & Governance) data, identify patterns, and generate ESG tax transparency reports.
4. Enhanced Security Measures
In an era, fraught with cybersecurity threats, AI emerges as a formidable ally in fortifying defences. Customized LLMs enable MSPs to bolster cybersecurity measures by detecting anomalies and thwarting potential breaches.
For example, PWC has teamed up with Microsoft to offer a Security Co-pilot powered by AI, exemplifying this concerted effort to safeguard sensitive data and pre-emptively counter emerging threats.
5. User Interaction using Natural Language Processing (NLP)
In our global connected world, Managed Services which use AI-driven NLP capabilities, can enrich user communication, and facilitate seamless interactions across languages and dialects, leading to improved EX and DEX.
Capgemini’s utilization of LLMs simplifies process transformation and fosters enterprise excellence through enhanced communication. AI-powered automation tools allow Managed IT Services to cater to multiple users simultaneously in multiple language modes and improve service quality within a defined timeframe.
6. AI in Workforce Analytics
Beyond automation, AI empowers organizations to make informed decisions through advanced workforce analytics for enhanced EX. AI helps evaluate data patterns and behavioural trends, which enables managers to make informed decisions concerning staffing, scheduling, crafting training programs and other activities. Embracing AI-driven solutions will enable organizations to anlayze technology proficiencies, predict knowledge needs and offer customized training to employees or customers in their native language. MSPs that leverage LLM and Generative AI would be able to harness the full potential of their workforce to drive DEX.
