Scenarios
Three business shapes we see most often. Costs are computed from €0.40 – €1.20 per IT ticket handled and a fully-loaded IT Support benchmark.
Scenario 1 · SaaS · 200-500
1,200 IT tickets handled / month
Starting capabilities
Situation
A 300-person B2B SaaS company runs 1200 IT tickets a month. Access provisioning lags new-hire day one. Resets overwhelm the admin queue. Licence waste goes unseen.
Agent fit
IT Helpdesk Specialist activates access handling and password reset. Provisioning lands on day one; resets self-serve; admins shift to strategic work.
Outcome
Expected outcomes at this volume: access-provisioning cycle down 60-80%, reset self-serve above 90%, admin hours recovered weekly.
Scenario 2 · Services · 300-800
2,500 IT tickets handled / month
Starting capabilities
Situation
A 600-person services firm runs 2500 tickets a month across access, resets, assets, and licences. Asset events slip. Licence utilization data is months old. Renewal windows catch the team late.
Agent fit
IT Helpdesk Specialist activates all four capabilities. Provisioning and resets run at cadence; asset events log cleanly; licence-reclaim and renewal actions ship monthly.
Outcome
Expected outcomes: cycle-time reduction 50-70%, asset-record accuracy above 95%, material monthly licence reclaim.
Scenario 3 · Subscriptions · 80-250
600 IT tickets handled / month
Starting capabilities
Situation
A 150-person subscriptions scale-up runs 600 IT tickets a month. Password resets dominate the admin queue. SaaS licence utilization is tracked in a spreadsheet that goes stale between quarterly reviews.
Agent fit
IT Helpdesk Specialist activates password reset and software licence tracking. Resets self-serve with identity verification; licence-reclaim and renewal actions ship monthly against live utilization data.
Outcome
Expected outcomes at this volume: reset self-serve above 90%, material monthly licence reclaim, admin hours recovered weekly.
Scenario 4 · eCommerce · 250-800
3,200 IT tickets handled / month
Starting capabilities
Situation
A 550-person eCommerce retailer runs 3200 IT tickets a month. Seasonal hiring drives access backlog. Device transfers between stores and HQ slip. Licence utilization is read once a quarter and the team renews blind.
Agent fit
IT Helpdesk Specialist activates all four capabilities. Access and resets run at cadence; asset events log cleanly across stores; licence utilization drives reclaim and renewal decisions in the month they happen.
Outcome
Expected outcomes: access cycle 60-80% faster, asset-record accuracy above 95%, licence spend held accountable monthly, admin hours recovered weekly.
Ticket cycle time
50-70% faster on routine tickets
Access-provisioning cycle

Password-reset self-serve rate

Licence-reclaim rate

Audit-trail completeness
every action logged with identity and policy reference
How it works
Workflow summary
The agent picks up helpdesk tickets from triggers — access request, reset submitted, asset event, licence threshold — and resolves or routes with full context.
Exceptions
Privileged-access requests, policy-exception cases, and security-sensitive events route to the IT admin with annotated context.
When humans step in
Humans step in on privileged access, policy exceptions, security-sensitive events, and executive-user issues.
Connected systems
Agent operates inside identity provider, asset inventory, licence tooling, ticket system, and messaging. Handles access provisioning, password resets, asset-event logging, and licence-usage flags — logs every action with audit trail.
Data inputs
Access matrix, asset records, licence usage, user records, policy library. Writes provisioning actions, reset confirmations, asset-event updates, and licence-reclaim recommendations back to source systems.
Decision logic
Uses access-policy matrix, identity-verification rules, and licence-usage thresholds to decide auto-provision, route-to-admin, or flag-for-security.
Readiness
Identity provider wired, asset inventory loaded, licence tool connected, reset flow agreed.
Integrations
No new systems to learn. The role connects to the platforms your team already uses.

An AI role priced per IT ticket handled. It runs access provisioning and de-provisioning, password resets with identity verification, asset-lifecycle tracking, and licence-utilization monitoring. Same scope as an IT support hire, priced per ticket.
Pure usage: EUR 0.40-1.20 per ticket handled. Launch fee covers identity-provider integration, asset-inventory wiring, licence-tool setup, and reset-flow design.
Okta is the primary identity provider. Microsoft Entra ID is supported. Jamf handles Apple device management and 1Password handles the vault layer.
On privileged-access requests, policy-exception cases, security-sensitive events, and executive-user issues. Admins keep the final word on every policy call.
Privileged requests always route to the admin with context and policy references. The agent never provisions privileged access autonomously.
Typical 21-35 days. Faster with a documented access matrix, a maintained asset inventory, and an identity provider already wired.
