Early Adopter Approved – From Reactive ITSM to Proactive Service Management
The future of ITSM is not faster ticket resolution – it’s preventing tickets from being created in the first place.

In this session, we’ll explore how early adopters are leveraging AI to transform service management from a reactive support function into a proactive business enabler. Through a series of customer case studies, you’ll learn how organizations are using AI to identify and resolve device issues before users are impacted, prioritize the right work at the right time, automate service workflows using natural language, and turn operational data into actionable insights.

Behind every ATM is a ticket – how modern service management secures critical financial operations.
Cash supply is, in reality, service management. Behind every cash transaction lies a complex network of services, processes, partners and systems. Only through professional incident, service and workflow management can organizations ensure that ATMs remain available, cash is replenished on time, and disruptions are resolved quickly and efficiently.

In this presentation, we will use a real-world example from the financial services and cash logistics sector to demonstrate how a highly available service organization leverages ky2help to digitalize, automate and transparently manage its core business processes.
