IT service

A service desk that works by your rules

Incidents, changes, assets and access requests, set up around your rules rather than a vendor's process model. Your team builds and changes the workflows in low code, and AI can take over the implementation if you wish. Once the service desk is running, onboarding, purchasing and audits can follow on the same platform.

  • Ticketing on your own data model
  • Deadlines in business hours
  • Access granted automatically

What matters

What a service desk has to do day to day

Your rules The way your company works Priority, ownership and escalation follow your rules. You prepare changes in a draft and publish them yourself.
Correct deadlines Counted in business hours Four hours from Friday afternoon ends on Monday morning, not on Friday evening.
One data model Tickets, assets, contracts Devices and licences are managed as objects in their own right, each with its own lifecycle.
Applied directly Access without manual follow-up Once approved, the group membership is set automatically. No further ticket is needed.

Today and tomorrow

What changes compared with a ticketing system alone

Today

The tool reaches its limits

It handles tickets. Everything else runs in spreadsheets and other tools, and that's where the gaps appear that the next audit will find.

  • Assets in one spreadsheet, licences in another
  • Deadlines in calendar hours, weekends included
  • Access approved, then entered by hand
  • Every change a job for the vendor or a consultant
  • Onboarding and purchasing in yet another tool
With nexxcite

One system for the whole flow

Incident, change, asset and request in one data model, set up around your rules and developed further by your own team.

  • Devices, licences and contracts as linked objects
  • Response and resolution times in business hours
  • Approved access is applied automatically
  • Changes in a draft, approved first and reversible at any time
  • The next process on the same platform

Typical processes

The processes IT service handles every day

From the first ticket to recertification: every process is configured rather than programmed, and all of them work on the same data.

Incidents and service requests

Reports from the portal, monitored mailboxes and other systems land in one place, with priority, ownership and deadlines in business hours. AI can suggest a category from the report text. Escalation follows your rules.

  • Portal
  • Email
  • Interface
  • Category suggestions by AI
  • SLAs in business hours
  • Escalation

Change management

Approval stages by risk and scope, maintenance windows in view, a rollback plan as a mandatory field. Standard changes take the short route.

  • Risk rating
  • Maintenance windows
  • Standard change

Assets and licences

Devices, software and contracts linked to people, locations and cost centres, with a history across the entire lifecycle.

  • Warranty
  • Licence position
  • Import

Access requests

Picked from the groups that actually exist, approved by the line manager and the data owner, applied directly in your directory.

  • Active Directory
  • Recertification

Knowledge base

Solution articles maintained by the service desk and used by the assistant in its answers, internally and in the portal.

  • Search with AI
  • Portal

IT tasks for joiners and leavers

Accounts, hardware, access: tasks created by the HR process, scheduled for the first working day and revoked on the leaving date.

In depth · access request

From request to group membership without manual follow-up

The access request is a good example because it brings a lot together: data from another system, multi-stage approval, automatic execution and periodic review.

  1. 01

    A request based on current data

    The requester picks from the groups that actually exist in your directory. The list is fetched fresh for every request, so there is no hand-maintained list to go out of date.

    • Current from the directory
    • Justification required
  2. 02

    Approval by the right people

    The line manager comes from the directory, the data owner from the data model. Both get a task. If it isn't dealt with, the platform sends reminders and escalates, counted in working hours.

    • Line manager
    • Data owner
    • Escalation
  3. 03

    Applied automatically

    Once approved, the group membership is set as a step in the workflow. Nobody has to enter it by hand. If this fails, an incident is raised so the error stays visible.

    • Set automatically
    • Failures surface
  4. 04

    The requester stays in the loop

    They can see in the portal where their request stands and get an email as soon as access works. No more chasing the service desk.

  5. 05

    Evidence and periodic review

    Who approved what and when, and what was actually set, is recorded on the case. When the agreed period is up, the data owner automatically receives a recertification task.

    • Documented for audits
    • Recertification

AI on the service desk

AI supports you in setting up and day to day

When setting up: your team builds the change process in the editor. If you prefer, you can describe it to the assistant instead, for example with risk classes, Change Advisory Board approval, maintenance windows and a fallback plan. The assistant then sets up the data model, forms, workflow and roles as a draft. Your team reviews each change and approves it. The previous state can be restored at any time.

Day to day: AI suggests a category from the report text, summarises long ticket histories and answers questions such as “Which priority-2 incidents have been open since yesterday?”. It works directly on your data, with exactly the permissions of the person asking.

It connects using your own access keys with your AI provider, or to an open model in your own data centre if you prefer. There is no separate AI licence.

  • Have processes set up from a description, always as a draft first
  • Category suggestions from the report text
  • Summaries of long ticket histories
  • Answers from your knowledge base
  • Reports in plain language
  • The assistant sees only what its user may see

In depth · incident

A VPN incident on a Friday afternoon

An everyday case and everything that has to happen between report and fix, without anyone having to remember it. Times and thresholds are examples from a configuration.

  1. 01

    The report arrives by email

    At 4:30 pm the monitored service mailbox creates the case and matches the reporter. AI suggests “Network · VPN” as the category from the text, and the service desk confirms with one click.

    • Mailbox
    • AI suggestion
  2. 02

    The deadline is calculated correctly

    Impact and urgency make it priority 2, with a resolution target of four business hours. Business hours end at 5 pm, so it's due on Monday morning rather than Friday evening.

    • Priority by rule
    • Business hours
  3. 03

    The device is already known

    The case is linked to the reporter's laptop, including model, location and warranty. A report on the same data shows how often that model is affected.

  4. 04

    Nothing gets forgotten

    If the case isn't worked on, the platform reminds the owner and then escalates to the team lead. You decide when that happens.

    • Reminder
    • Escalation
  5. 05

    Fixed and documented

    The fix is recorded on the case, the reporter sees the status in the portal, and the solution can become a knowledge article. Next time, the assistant finds it.

Your own workspace

IT service gets a workspace of its own

On nexxcite, IT service is a workspace of its own: a dark, compact interface for the service desk, navigation built around tickets, changes, assets and knowledge, a home page showing the cases whose deadlines are close, and a service assistant that knows only IT data.

HR files, purchase orders and customer data are not visible to the service desk. For that role, they simply don't exist. The same applies the other way round: HR sees nothing of the service desk.

Roles can include other roles: second level inherits everything from first level and adds change approval.

  • Colour scheme per role, set separately for light and dark
  • Its own top and side navigation
  • Its own home page and search sources
  • A service assistant with its own tools
  • Permissions down to the individual record
  • Sign-in via SSO, Active Directory and two-factor

Integration

Connected to the systems your IT already uses

A service desk depends on the systems around it. These connections are part of the platform and are configured rather than programmed.

Directory and sign-in

People, managers and groups from the directory; sign-in through your identity provider.

  • Active Directory and other directories
  • Single sign-on (SSO)
  • Two-factor authentication

Email

Tickets from the mailbox, notifications and follow-up questions back to the reporter.

  • Exchange Online
  • IMAP and SMTP
  • Monitored mailboxes

Interfaces

Monitoring systems raise incidents, other systems query the status.

  • Secured interface for other systems
  • Calls to other systems
  • Common data formats

Import and sync

Inventory data from your existing tools, on a schedule and monitored.

  • Excel and CSV
  • Schedules
  • Monitored background tasks

File storage

Attachments, screenshots and logs wherever you want your data to live.

  • Azure Blob Storage
  • S3

AI tools

Additional tools extend what the service assistant can do. The same permission checks apply.

  • External AI tools
  • Your own access keys

Objections

What IT leaders want to know up front

We already have a ticketing system. Why switch?

If it's enough, don't. nexxcite becomes interesting once assets need to be more than a category, deadlines must count business hours and approved access should also be applied automatically. Or when onboarding, purchasing and audits would otherwise end up in yet more tools.

Does nexxcite come with a ready-made ITIL process?

nexxcite doesn't prescribe a process model you have to follow. Your team maps the way you work in the editor. If you wish, AI sets up a first version from your description as a draft, which your team reviews and approves. If you follow ITIL, that's what you build. If you work differently, you map your own process.

How quickly can a first service desk be live?

The first working version is built directly on your process rather than after a requirements document. We accompany the first process and train your team along the way.

Who maintains it after go-live?

Your team. New categories, changed deadlines, an extra approval step: these are configured in a draft, approved and can be reversed if needed. No new software version or consultant appointment is required. Our aim is for you to build the second process without us.

What does it cost when HR and purchasing join later?

No extra licence per application. You license the platform and the number of users signed in at the same time. Any number of applications is included.

Can the AI read tickets containing personal data?

It reads exactly what the person asking may read. The permission check applies to the assistant as to every other channel. For each assistant, you decide which data areas it knows. With your own access keys or an open model in-house, you also decide where data goes in the first place.

Will it run in our own data centre?

Yes. nexxcite runs as SaaS, in your own data centre or in your private cloud, spread across several servers and highly available if you need it.

Live demo

Bring the process your current tool can't handle

Usually it's the access request, asset management or a deadline that can't be calculated properly. We'll build it with you in the demo, following your rules, in the editor or with AI.

  • Your process, not a sample
  • Built live, in the editor or with AI
  • Remote or on site
