AlmaIQ™ in practice: when AI solves productivity problems in minutes
How AlmaIQ™ turns data into action and empowers employees
In a market where new tools and technologies are constantly emerging, it is easy to get carried away by features. The real differentiator, however, lies in the impact a solution has on operations.
That is what stands out most about Almaden’s solutions.
More than a Digital Employee Experience (DEX) platform, it turns data into decisions. It enables IT teams to anticipate problems, act proactively, and improve the user experience. And this can be confirmed in practice through real, everyday experiences.
A silent problem: "Why is my PC slow?"
For several weeks, a user experienced recurring computer slowdowns. Simple activities, such as opening documents or switching between applications, took far too long. The poor performance disrupted everyday tasks and directly affected productivity.
Like any user, the first reaction was to open a ticket and wait for a response from IT. Instead, however, the user chose to consult AlmaIQ™, Collective IQ®’s intelligent concierge, integrated with Microsoft Teams® and Google Chat™.
The experience was very different from that of a traditional chatbot.
What AlmaIQ™ did differently
AlmaIQ™ analyzed the situation, identified the most likely root cause, and explained in simple terms what was happening. Most importantly, it guided the user step by step through actions that could be performed without administrator permissions.
By following the recommendations, meeting stability was restored. More importantly, the user learned from the experience.
The user gained a better understanding of the device, became more self-sufficient, and learned when the case truly needed to be escalated to IT.
The result was restored productivity, with no tickets, no waiting, and no frustration.
The true potential of AlmaIQ™
This experience raises a question: how many customers and partners continue to lose time, productivity, and resources because their users do not have access to a tool like AlmaIQ™?
This question is especially relevant for lean IT teams or teams that need to focus their efforts on innovation and continuous improvement. In these contexts, every unnecessary ticket, every trip, and every minute spent on recurring incidents has a direct impact on business results.
When users can resolve common problems with guided assistance and escalate only when truly necessary, the entire operation becomes more efficient.
“This is the true potential of AlmaIQ™: to empower users, optimize IT work, and allow specialists to devote their time to higher-value initiatives.”
Almaden's big news this month: AlmaIQ™ comes to the CIQ Portal
Almaden has just launched a new way to access AlmaIQ™: the conversational concierge is now available directly in the CIQ Portal, integrated with AlmaTools. Business plan customers can already request and access the trial, while Essential customers can request an upgrade to the Business plan to try the solution.
This new option makes it even easier to interact with IT operations data, get answers, explore insights, and support diagnostics and decisions, directly in the environment teams already use every day. AlmaIQ™ also remains available through Microsoft Teams and Google Chat.
