Service Management Automation-X (SMA-X) offers the industry’s most engaging Service Experience, the only one that offers a chatbot-powered virtual agent, a mobile application, integrated social networking, smart ticketing with Optical Character recognition and smart email.

By allowing full data sovereignty, SMA-X customers and MSPs can ensure the security and location of their service data to meet data privacy and compliance requirements.
