Enable Agentic chat for BMC Helix ITSM
Jordon, an administrator at Apex Global, wants to enable the Agentic chat capability for BMC Helix ITSM so that users get a conversational experience when searching for incidents, change requests, or information from knowledge articles.
Search for incidents, change requests, or information from knowledge articles
- Carl, a service desk agent at Apex Global, receives a call from an employee. The employee is encountering a problem with the laptop and wants to replace the laptop.
Carl wants to find the laptop replacement policy information. Instead of manually searching for a knowledge article that contains the policy information, Carl types in his question in Agentic chat and gets summarized policy information.
- Susan, a service desk manager at Apex Global, saw a sudden spike in the number of incidents with Service as Outlook reported by the Europe region in the last week. She wants to view the list of incidents with Service as Outlook reported by the Europe region during the last week. She also wants to know the changes that were implemented for the Outlook service at the Europe region in the last week so that she can use this data to analyze whether any particular change might have caused the issue.
Instead of relying on service desk agents or generating reports to get the data, she asks relevant questions in Agentic chat and quickly gets a list of such incidents and change requests. She analyzes these changes, identifies the change that caused the issue, and decides to roll it back.
- Rahul, a change coordinator at Apex Global, wants to view the change requests with Priority as High and Risk Level as 4 so that he can monitor and track their progress and mitigate risks.
