Leveraging cognitive capabilities in BMC Helix Business Workflows

BMC Helix Business Workflows leverages BMC Helix Cognitive Automation to take the advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) while creating or updating a case.

Important

To leverage the cognitive capabilities, you must have a license to use BMC Helix Cognitive Automation.

BMC Helix Cognitive Automation helps you to achieve the following goals:

  • Automate manual tasks such as categorizing cases and predicting the templates
  • Reduce human error
  • Increase productivity

For more information about leveraging the cognitive capabilities, see  Adding cognitive capabilities to a custom application Open link .

By default, the cognitive service displays a maximum of 10 templates during the search. If the cognitive service fails to predict the case templates or categories, Full-Text Search (FTS) is used to display a list of related case templates. 

How cognitive service is beneficial

Consider a scenario where users request services by sending emails or by communicating over chat, and cases corresponding to these requests are created in BMC Helix Business Workflows. Such cases are created with unstructured data which can result in incomplete or inaccurate information in the case. 

Similarly, when users request for services by contacting a case agent via a telephone call or in person, the case agent creates a case in BMC Helix Business Workflows by using the Create Case page or Quick Case option. The case agent selects a case template to create the case. This manual process could also result in errors if the case agent selects an incorrect case template.

The administrator uses BMC Helix Cognitive Automation to auto-categorize and predict templates when case agents create or update cases. This overcomes the challenges posed by the manual process and also saves the time that case agents spend on the routine tasks.

Map the training data set to a company, and enable the cognitive service to predict case templates and case categories.

Note: To use a data set for any company that is not mapped to a data set, associate the data set to the Global company. The cognitive service uses the data set for cases created for any company that does not have a data set mapped to it.
