ITSM increases agent productivity and accelerates issue resolution. With platform-native AI, agents get recommended actions on incoming requests, and employees can resolve common issues through conversational self-service. The ServiceNow AI Platform also gives users access to ITSM through mobile and web portal interfaces.

To explore ITSM applications, see [IT Service Management applications](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/itsm-apps-overview.md).
