Early Adopter Approved – From Reactive ITSM to Proactive Service Management
The future of ITSM is not faster ticket resolution – it’s preventing tickets from being created in the first place.

In this session, we’ll explore how early adopters are leveraging AI to transform service management from a reactive support function into a proactive business enabler. Through a series of customer case studies, you’ll learn how organizations are using AI to identify and resolve device issues before users are impacted, prioritize the right work at the right time, automate service workflows using natural language, and turn operational data into actionable insights.

Discover where AI helps predict problems, automate actions and free IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives.

ITIL is not the challenge – implementation is

This session explores how organizations can turn ITIL practices into practical, measurable workflows instead of simply replacing one ticketing system with another. Using a real-world customer scenario, Marcus Hiekel demonstrates how KIX supports Incident, Change, Problem and Service Request Management with ready-to-use processes.

Participants will learn how an open-source ITSM platform combines ITIL-aligned workflows with transparency, flexibility and digital sovereignty, creating the foundation for effective and continuously improving Service Management.

Behind every ATM is a ticket – how modern service management secures critical financial operations.
Cash supply is, in reality, service management. Behind every cash transaction lies a complex network of services, processes, partners and systems. Only through professional incident, service and workflow management can organizations ensure that ATMs remain available, cash is replenished on time, and disruptions are resolved quickly and efficiently.

In this presentation, we will use a real-world example from the financial services and cash logistics sector to demonstrate how a highly available service organization leverages ky2help to digitalize, automate and transparently manage its core business processes.
