Overview of ITC Infotech’s End-User Computing
as a Service
Enabling Distributed Work Environment
(Increased End-user Productivity)
Be it large corporations or small businesses around the globe, all have recently experienced the criticality of having a distributed workforce and maintaining high employee productivity. Companies have witnessed new ways of working with geographically distributed employees across office locations and remote working. This is where many organizations are implementing new-age digital workplace technologies to equip their employees with modern workplace solutions that enable a seamless experience to drive increased productivity.
End-User At The Core
Built as a model with end-user centricity, the digital workplace has an interaction and consumption-based usage to make the end user’s work easier. The Digital framework puts the end-users right at the heart of the digital workplace, providing an ultimate vantage point for a very high user experience and satisfaction and driving up productivity and engagement. This is a proven model that has a highly focused adoption program that extends beyond IT.
AI-Enabled ChatBots Powered With Strong Automation
AI-based ChatBots are one of the critical components of the digital workplace solution. These bots are capable of AI-led interaction and provide a single window to consume information as well as interact with the end users’ as their “Digital Assistant”. The communication with users is in a way that mirrors human conversation, achieved through Natural language Processing (NLP). The ChatBots have seamless integration with the RPA-based automation enabling access to enterprise applications within a single Bot window and flawlessly works across devices (mobile/OS).
Device Monitoring & Self-healing
One of the solution components perform proactive device monitoring and reports the health status of the end-user devices. This status enables the IT support team to solve incidents faster and collect key information for higher-level support teams, including the deskside team, to speed-up troubleshooting and problem management. The solution also empowers end-users to resolve issues on their own through assisted healing services, which also reduces the incident count and help fix issues at the source. This leads to reduced downtime and improvised end-user productivity.
AI led Telephony Strongly Integrated with Chatbots and ITSM
AI-led telephony system that enables fast and easy responses by pre-identifying the users calling from any channel of communication. The intelligent IVR helps in faster call routing and connecting the user to the right resolver group.
Differentiated Remote and Deskside Support
Unique remote and deskside support model comprising of augmented reality-based remote support, dedicated deskside support, and hub and spoke dispatch and break/fix services. ITC Infotech also strengthens this with unique peripherals vending solutions to boost employee experience and drive workplace transformation. ITC Infotech has a strong partner ecosystem that is leveraged for smart vending solutions, AR-based support, and dispatch services for remote locations with less user concentration.
Modular
An architecture that has 3 modules AI-enabled intelligent ChatBots, ITSM Platform, and RPA/Automation. This enables plug-and-play across the customers’ environments and re-uses what they have already invested in i.e. if the customer has ServiceNow available we bring the chatbot, self-healing, and automation engines as-a-service and integrate with APIs to get the work done.
Enabling Experience Level Agreements (eXLAs)
ITC Infotech has reengineered the way to measure the end user’s experience through Experience Level Agreements (eXLAs). In addition to measuring the quality of service with traditional methods of e-mail/survey forms, ITC Infotech has gone beyond to measure the user’s device-level hard data and user sentiments using like/dislikes, thumbs-up/down – this data is then mashed up to provide experience level reporting. The eXLAs measure and quantify actual service-levels to our customers and gives them the required transparency of service performance around the end-users.
Performance Monitoring & Reporting
Granular reporting on channel effectiveness for engagements, chatbot, live agent, e-mail & voice. Focus on increasing the coverage of responses – introduced experience-based feedback mechanism with simple like/dislike, thumbs-up/down, smileys, etc. to measure the quality of end-user experience along with regular SLA metrics – all monitored and measured in a single pane of glass.
Speed To Market
The solution built on the cloud platform offers rapid deployment across Telephony, ChatBot, ITSM and Automation. Also, the cloud helps in the creation of models offering pricing options around users/month, fixed cost and entirely as-a-service.
The Digital Framework: End-User at the Core
Select team manages the service management platform and ensures service governance
Digital Workplace is all about services revolving around the end-user. We have created a framework that puts the users where they belong – right at the center. With this “user-first” approach, certain principles are framed that provide End-User Computing Services.
The end-user outlook provides the ultimate vantage point for a very high user experience and satisfaction. We understand what it takes for the IT teams to strategize end-user centric services and get the most out of them. This, despite modern-day service challenges, multi-vendor and multi-technology environment, complex infrastructure, and applications. Knowing just ‘what’ without the ‘why’ is of no use- almost all the toolsets and platforms that are a part of the solution are easy to implement and manage in large and complex IT environments.
The end-user, at the core, is equipped with an Intelligent Service Desk on the software side whereas the pre-designed physical systems identify the users that work as an element of collaboration. The delivery management oversees the committed deliverables and the security feature ensures data safety.

ITC Infotech's Value Delivery Enablers
COVID-19 Rapid Assist
COVID-19 suddenly changed the “Normal” and we all shifted to remote working / work from home overnight. This new way of working has now become the “New Normal”. Organizations worldwide had always planned for remote working / work from home for a limited number of users. The IT support for these remote users was also planned accordingly. However, they never planned for the volume they have seen in the last few weeks. This has overburdened the Service Desks with increase in number of calls coming to them and with a reduced / limited number of resources to support.
To help our customers globally, ITC INFOTECH has come up with a “COVID-19 Rapid Assist Program” which ensures that in these extraordinary times, we step in to assist your end users with ITC INFOTECH extended teams. This program has a multi-track approach:
