Enterprise Service Management Author, Kevin J. Smith, Presents Survey Findings Sponsored by Bright Pattern on ITSM and ESM Digital Transformation, Automation, and AI

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bright Pattern, a leading provider of AI-powered cloud contact center software and Omnichannel Interaction Platform for ITSM and ESM, will sponsor and present at the 2021 SupportWorld Live Conference from November 6 to 11, 2021, in Orlando Florida. Bright Pattern's ESM and ITSM General Manager, Kevin J. Smith, will take the stage in his session "Turbocharge Your ITSM and ESM with AI, Automation and Digital Channels" where he will present key findings from the 2021 Innovative Technology for ITSM and ESM Trend Report.

"I am really looking forward to seeing new faces and old friends at SupportWorld next week and hearing about what's on everybody's mind," said Kevin J. Smith, General Manager of ITSM and ESM at Bright Pattern. "For me, it is continuing the push to bring IT to 90% automation by 2025—the '90% Rule' described in my series of books on IT. Hear more about this in my session Tuesday, November 10th at 1:40 PM."

Key Observations from the Trend Report:

• Improving customer and employee satisfaction is the biggest initiative cited by survey respondents, closely followed by customer self-service.
• As expected, phone and email were the two dominant channels used for ITSM, more interesting is that self-service is a close third and the fact that web chat is used a great deal as well.
• Nearly a third of respondents already use automation for ITSM and 43% plan to implement automation in the future.
• AI is being taken up by IT service organizations, with 12% of respondents having already implemented AI and 45% planning to implement this technology.

"HDI is one of the most trusted sources of information in the ITSM and ESM industry," said Michael Mccloskey, CEO of Bright Pattern. "We are excited to join other industry leaders at the annual HDI conference, SupportWorld Live."
