CHALLENGE

~60% of IT service desk call volume was routine and entirely manual

~60% of IT service desk call volume was routine and entirely manual

At a large multi-division bank, the IT service desk was overwhelmed by high-frequency, low-complexity requests. Password resets and account unlocks alone made up the majority of inbound call volume — tasks that required human agents to manually orchestrate identity verification, authentication, and system updates.

The cost burden was significant:

~60%

Of IT call volume from password resets and account unlocks

4–8 min

Average handle time per ticket for routine tasks

$6–$12

Industry cost per human-handled call

SOLUTION

End-to-end IT service desk transformation, with disseqt as the assurance layer

Following a rigorous architecture evaluation, the bank selected an enterprise contact-centre platform suited to its environment. disseqt AI was integrated as the assurance, governance, and validation layer across the entire implementation covering testing, monitoring, compliance reporting, and responsible AI enforcement.

PROCESS

From voice call to resolved ticket fully automated and governed

From voice call to resolved ticket fully automated and governed

01

Intake via Voice Channel

  • Employees place a request through their existing communication channel. The system identifies the request type and initiates the appropriate resolution flow.

02

Authentication

  • Through multi-division identity verified automatically federated identity verification handles authentication across both divisions automatically, within a single bot flow.

03

Validation

  • As the AI processes the request, disseqt runs input/output validation across many validators checking for hallucinations, PII leakage, prompt injection attempts, bias, and harmful content before any action is taken.

04

Resolution & Escalation

  • Once identity is verified and the interaction validated, the password reset or account action is executed automatically, with no human agent involvement required. For complex cases, the system escalates to a human agent within their familiar interface — with full context preserved, eliminating the need to repeat verification steps.

05

Governance Full audit trail, compliance reporting, and RAI dashboards

  • Audit trails, compliance reports, responsible AI logs, and leadership dashboards are generated automatically — supporting regulatory requirements without manual preparation.

OUTCOMES

Significant cost reduction, with responsible AI built in from day one

Significant cost reduction, with responsible AI built in from day one

Handle time cut from 8 min to under 2

Routine ticket resolution- time reduced from 4–8 minutes to under 2 minutes through full automation.

80%+

Cost reduction per interaction - AI self-service dramatically reduces the cost of handling routine requests at volume.

15+ responsible AI categories governed

Disseqt governs every interaction across PII, bias, hallucination, toxicity, prompt injection, and more — continuously.

Multiple responsible AI categories governed continuously — including PII, bias, hallucination, toxicity, and prompt injection.

  • Regulatory reports, audit logs, and compliance dashboards generated automatically — no manual preparation required.

  • Near-zero learning curve for human agents, who continue to operate within familiarired.

This is the gap disseqt fills. Enterprise IT service desks process millions of routine requests each year, with cost per interaction in the range of $6 to $12 industry-wide. Automating even a fraction of that volume — with responsible AI governance built in — translates directly into millions in operational savings, freed-up engineering capacity, and stronger compliance posture.

disseqt gave us the assurance layer we needed to automate confidently — every AI-driven interaction is governed, audited, and explainable. It is what made the business case for full deployment defensible to our board and regulators."
