Today, in the digital age, many companies are strengthening the digital culture among their workforce and thoroughly modernizing the employee’s workplace environment. However, on this road to the digital workplace, they encounter a few challenges that must be addressed by the CIO.
Two main challenges of the digital transformation inside organizations
The digitalization of the workplace takes many forms. However, all existing initiatives seek the same goals:
- improve collaboration across the organization,
- develop true business agility,
- improve the workplace, and therefore the quality of life at work,
- secure sensitive data, while ensuring employees a simple and fluid use of information,
- increase productivity and reduce operational costs.
1. Ensuring that new collaborative solutions are adopted by business users
Changing the working practices of business users in order to gain collective efficiency is one of the main challenges of digital transformation initiatives . Companies have made significant investments in the deployment of digital solutions such as collaborative suites like Microsoft 365 or Google Suite.
They have also implemented self-services in many areas, such as Human Resources, IT Help Desk or Customer Relationship Management.
To reach the full return on investment on such projects, companies must ensure that the new solutions are widely adopted by business users. This is where IT Service Desk plays a key part.
2. Automating support tasks
One other major challenge of internal digital transformation is the automation of some tasks related to end-user support. To manage the new, often complex demands of business users, IT Service Desk teams need to free up more resources.
After the big waves of outsourcing we have witnessed, some limitations seem to have been achieved and companies are now looking at automation.
How a corporate Chatbot designed for employees can accelerate digital transformation?
Many companies are currently evaluating whether conversational AI platforms can make sense in the context of their specific digital strategy, by exploring pragmatic use cases.
Virtual agent are an efficient way to address the challenges previously described. They can be used both to provide real-time support to end-users and to automate the management of many tasks and workflows.
However, to achieve these objectives, corporate Chatbots too need to be widely adopted.
Only a solution that meets these 4 requirements will deliver the expected benefits:
- The chatbot for IT help desk must be ready to use, in order to bring value quickly to the end-user and to accelerate the transformation of employee practices.
- The intelligent virtual agent must be tightly integrated with existing information systems, so it becomes a companion available everywhere and at any time for business users. This way, it will make the employees’ lives easier, which is key to maximize its adoption. Only a true multichannel solution, accessible through Web, mobile and corporate messaging platforms, can deliver the agility expected by the business.
- A corporate Bot must include advanced capabilities, such as machine learning cognitive process automation and business process automation technologies, to optimize the operational efficiency of the company.
- The Chatbot must be secure, to protect the business knowledge and the company information systems and big data.
