ITSM Optimization • Process Intelligence

Find and remove the bottlenecks slowing your IT service delivery.

ALKHAI helps ITSM teams uncover where incidents, requests, and changes stall — using real ServiceNow, Jira, and service desk event data — and delivers a ranked fix plan with measurable SLA and throughput impact.

Capabilities

Built around constraints.

We analyze IT service delivery as it actually runs — from ticket creation and triage to assignment, escalation, and resolution — then isolate the few constraints that break SLAs and drain team capacity.

Ranges shown are typical outcomes observed across operations; actual results depend on process complexity and data availability.

Event-based Discovery

Turn ITSM event logs into as-is service flows—ticket variants, reassignment loops, wait states, and escalation paths.

Constraint Ranking

Rank bottlenecks by SLA impact, agent capacity loss, and customer wait time

Targeted Automation

Apply automation only where it removes the verified constraint — approvals, routing, handoffs, reconciliations — not everywhere.

Diagnostic visuals

What your IT leadership team receives in 30–45 days

These visuals represent the diagnostic outputs we deliver - not a software license or black-box tool.

These visuals communicate what your team gets: clarity, ranked constraints, and a single "start here" path.

Constraint heatmap

Rank constraints by business impact, not opinion. Focus teams on the few fixes that actually increase throughput.

The Bottleneck Scan

An ITSM Bottleneck Scan — built for CIOs and IT Ops leaders who need SLA relief fast, without platform changes.

Not a transformation program. A data-driven readout that tells you exactly where to act first and why.

What we analyze
  • Incident, request, and problem flows
  • Assignment and reassignment loops
  • Escalations and approval delays
  • SLA breaches and backlog aging
  • Knowledge reuse gaps

Input: event logs and operational data already inside your systems.

What you receive
  • As-is ITSM process maps (ticket reality)
  • Top 3 SLA-breaking constraints
  • Quantified agent time loss
  • Backlog & wait-time drivers
  • 30–60 day execution roadmap
Good fit if
  • You run ServiceNow / Jira Service Management
  • You’re missing SLAs despite enough headcount
  • Tickets bounce between teams
  • You need clarity before investing in tooling or automation
Not a fit if
  • You want a new ITSM platform
  • You’re looking for generic “best practices”
  • You want automation without diagnosis

How it works

1
Connect + ingest

We define scope, ingest event data, and map the process reality.

2
Quantify + rank

We identify bottlenecks, rework loops, wait states, and SLA breaches—then rank by impact.

3
Executive readout

You leave with a prioritized fix list, quantified SLA impact, and a clear “start-here” execution path.

Designed by practitioners who have worked inside IT service delivery, operations, and SLA-driven environments.

Differentiation

ALKHAI vs traditional large-scale ITSM programs

Large ITSM initiatives often start with tooling, dashboards, or broad “transformations.”

ALKHAI starts with flow: We analyze real ticket event data to pinpoint the specific constraints breaking SLAs—then deliver a ranked fix plan your team can execute immediately.

Typical large ITSM program ALKHAI
Platform-first (“standardize on our framework”) Constraint-first (“what’s stalling tickets?”)
Broad scope, long timelines, many workstreams Fixed-scope scan with clear start-here path
Heavy workshops & interviews to map “as-is” Event-log truth: timestamps, queues, variants, rework
Reports/dashboards that don’t change throughput Ranked constraints + measurable SLA impact model
“Best practices” applied everywhere Targeted fixes only where they remove the bottleneck
Value is hard to attribute (too many changes) ROI tied to specific queues, handoffs, and loop drivers
High disruption / organizational fatigue Low-disruption: minimal access, fast diagnosis, precise actions

Note: ALKHAI is tool-agnostic and can work alongside your existing platform and partners. We complement—not replace—your ITSM suite by finding the few constraints that actually move SLA performance.

ALKHAI engagements are led by practitioners with hands-on experience in IT operations, service delivery, and process analysis.

Proof

Why ALKHAI before large ITSM programs.

Event-data driven

All findings are derived from timestamps, variants, and real execution data - not interviews.

Security-first engagement

Least-privilege access, NDA-ready, no data extraction outside your environment.

Operationally aligned

Outputs map to owners, controls, and SLAs so fixes can be executed quickly.

Why ALKHAI

Built to answer the question IT leaders ask every day.

“Where exactly are we losing time — and what should we fix first?”

ALKHAI was built to deliver constraint-first diagnostics using real event data — not frameworks, not assumptions. We focus on pinpointing the few fixes that actually move SLA performance.

Tell us about your service desk environment and where performance is slipping. We’ll respond with a scoped ITSM bottleneck scan and a data-focused plan.

We do not sell software licenses or long-term transformation programs.

No platform changes. Read-only access. NDA available. No long-term engagement required. If we don’t find actionable constraints, you don’t proceed.

What to include

Company + team

Size, ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, Jira, Zendesk, etc.), and stakeholders (IT Ops, Service Owners, SRE, Service Desk leadership).

Process scope

Incidents, requests, changes, problem management, or a specific IT service workflow.

Outcome target

SLA compliance, ticket cycle time reduction, backlog burn-down, or agent capacity recovery.
