Your AI drafts the fix before the ticket's assigned.

It reads an incoming ticket, drafts the fix or escalation, and updates the ticket itself, so the service desk queue moves faster. Self-hosted ITSM and observability remove the per-seat, per-event pricing entirely.

What your AI would do in IT.

Concrete jobs an AI operating system set up around your business could take on, including the ones that catch a problem before it lands on your desk.

01

Reads an incoming ticket, drafts the fix or the escalation, and updates the ticket itself.

02

Watches your monitoring alerts and drafts the incident summary before the war room even starts.

03

Answers routine internal 'how do I' questions so the service desk queue gets shorter.

04

Flags an alert pattern matching a past incident before it repeats the same outage.

What your AI does about it:

It reads your monitoring alerts and drafts the incident summary before the war room starts, so people start from the facts.

Imagine it. Here it is.

A short, fictional scenario. Watch the AI handle it end to end.

Ticket queue: Solace Group IT (fictional)
● Ticket #4821: User can't connect to VPN since this morning, urgent

Solace Group IT is made up. Watch the AI triage an incoming ticket.

Read what happens

Ticket #4821: User can't connect to VPN since this morning, urgent Checking VPN service status and this user's recent access logs VPN gateway: Certificate expired for this user's device at 03:00 this morning This matches an expired device certificate, not a service outage. A re-enrolment fixes it in under five minutes. To Ticket #4821: Draft reply: your VPN certificate expired overnight. Re-enrol your device using the link below and you'll be back online in a few minutes. You choose. Send reply and close ticket: Reply sent, ticket marked resolved pending the user's confirmation. Logged as a certificate-expiry pattern for tracking. Assign to a technician first: Left assigned to a technician with the diagnosis attached.

Where it time and money leak

What we hear on every it discovery call.

01

Tier-1 tickets waiting for a person to triage

Routine tickets sit in a queue waiting for someone to read and route them. An AI reads, drafts the fix or escalation, and updates the ticket.

02

ITSM and observability costs compound with the team

ServiceNow, Datadog, Splunk and PagerDuty together for a mid-size team quietly run into seven figures a year.

03

Identity pricing per-seat

Okta and similar charge per user with premium tiers for features you probably need anyway. Keycloak and Authentik cover the real workload.

How we handle the it edges

The sector-specific things we get right.

01 · Concern

Internal employee data under POPIA

HR records, IT tickets, device inventories. All personal information. Self-hosted keeps the audit trail inside your company.

02 · Concern

Incident response time and data residency

SIEM data on foreign cloud is a sovereignty + latency problem. Self-hosted Wazuh + Graylog keeps detection fast and data local.

03 · Concern

Board-level cost reporting

CFOs want the SaaS line item to stop growing. We produce the before/after report for the board, with migration costs amortised against rolling savings.

What we bring to a it engagement

The services your sector usually starts with.

Now it's real.

Four things stay true, whatever we build for you.

  • Your hardware or ours

    On your server, on ours, or on a machine in your office running an open model. Your call.

  • A person approves what matters

    Payments, deletions and anything going to a client wait for a yes from you or someone you choose.

  • Every action logged

    You can see what it read, what it did and why, for every task.

  • Built with POPIA in mind

    We set it up the way we set up any system that handles personal information, with the same care our compliance work gets.

Questions people ask

Does the AI close tickets without a technician looking at them?

For clear, low-risk fixes like this, yes, with a log you can audit. Anything ambiguous still goes to a person.

How much does this save compared to ServiceNow and Datadog?

It depends on your stack, but consolidating to self-hosted Wazuh and Graylog typically removes several per-seat and per-event line items at once.

Can it produce the board-level cost report our CFO wants?

Yes, we produce a before/after report with migration costs amortised against the ongoing savings.

Does self-hosted identity handle SSO the way Okta does?

Yes, Keycloak and Authentik cover single sign-on and the access policies most teams actually use.
