The challenge

Where things stood

Vantage's two-person IT team was buried in the same handful of password-reset and access-request tickets every week, leaving little time for actual infrastructure work.

The approach

How we got there

01

Scoped self-service actions

Built the assistant to actually perform password resets and standard access requests through Vantage's identity provider, not just explain how to do it.

02

Troubleshooting grounded in internal docs

Indexed Vantage's internal IT wiki so common troubleshooting questions get answered from documentation that's actually current.

03

Ticket creation for anything else

Anything outside the defined self-service actions creates a scoped ticket with context already attached, instead of a blank ticket IT has to chase down details for.
