Help Desk Automation

Help Desk Automation

UPDATE CONTENT In response to recurring help desk escalations, I developed the Ticket Completion Software (TCS), an automated system revolutionizing IT support. TCS efficiently handles and resolves issues related to Azure Active Directory, Azure DevOps, and Exchange, among others, significantly reducing resolution time. Upon successful issue resolution, TCS autonomously sends an email notification to the requester and closes the ticket. This innovative solution has lightened the workload for Tier 2-3 teams, improved response times, and enhanced customer satisfaction and operational efficiency, reflecting my expertise in cloud technologies and problem-solving.
