Ticket Taker to Team Leader: Managing an Agentic IT Workforce

The promise of AI in IT service management has been circulating for years. Chatbots that deflect tickets. Virtual agents that answer FAQs. Automation that routes requests. These are useful, but probably not the dream-state you were originally sold. What's different today is the arrival of agentic AI: systems that don't just respond to instructions but reason, act, and adapt across multi-step workflows with real consequences. The question for IT leaders is no longer whether to adopt agentic ITSM.

We're in a Patch Apocalypse. That Means These Three IT Excuses Won't Work Anymore.

On April 7, Anthropic announced that its Claude Mythos Preview model had autonomously identified thousands of high- and critical-severity zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and every major web browser. Over 99% of them were unpatched the day of disclosure. Two weeks later, on April 21, Mozilla said it had used the same model to find and patch 271 vulnerabilities in the latest Firefox release.

"Proactive Insights for a Reactive World": What Makes Collective IQ Different for Business Leaders

From a business executive's perspective, the core question is not how many metrics a tool collects, but how clearly it connects technology to business productivity, cost, and risk. Dave Wagner summarizes this nicely: "if you're a business leader, what's really powerful about Collective IQ is it's not just technology metrics, it's productivity metrics."

How Recurring Instability Turns into Clinical Trial Delays

In pharma, reliability becomes an operational priority because research and trial work depend on systems performing consistently across different teams, locations, and conditions. Much of that work sits inside scientific workflows, remote sessions, and compute-heavy environments where behaviour can shift with configuration or load. When that consistency starts to break down, teams keep moving, but time is lost in small increments across the day.

From Complex to Simple: How Integrated GRC Transforms Compliance, Risk and ITSM Operations

From Complex to Simple: How Integrated GRC Transforms Compliance, Risk and ITSM Operations Your teams face a complex regulatory landscape, limited visibility across departments and the need to demonstrate audit readiness and risk accountability. But you’re not alone; over half of global risk leaders say regulatory complexity is their biggest headache, while many struggle with siloed vendor data, fragmented controls and manual GRC processes.

Why Mid-Market IT Teams Are Drowning in Tickets - And How AI Concierges Are Finally Fixing It

Every IT leader I've spoken to at a mid-market company (50-500 employees) tells me some version of the same story. Their team is good. Their tools - usually ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, or Freshservice - are solid. But the volume of inbound requests is relentless. Password resets at 9am. VPN issues at 2pm. "My Zoom isn't working" at the worst possible moment before a client call. The tickets never stop, and the IT team never has enough bandwidth to focus on the work that actually moves the business forward.

How Collective IQ Turns Reactive IT into Truly Proactive IT

Most IT organizations still operate in “firefighting” mode: an employee opens a ticket, the service desk investigates, depending on severity and complexity multiple teams or people are involved to diagnose, and then the appropriate person or team fixes the issue. The whole process then repeats for the next reported incident. This model doesn’t scale, drains time and budget, and leaves a huge number of issues unresolved because many employees simply don’t bother to report them.

Storytelling as Strategy: DEX Strategy 1:1 with Laura Reeves

How Agentic AI Powers Hybrid and MultiCloud Operations

Hybrid and multi‑cloud environments didn’t break operations—they simply outpaced the human ability to manage them. Gartner predicts that 90% of organizations will adopt a hybrid cloud approach through 2027, confirming that multi-vendor estates are now the permanent operating model. Yet, as environments grow more distributed, a “Complexity Gap” has emerged.

Not All Agents Are Created Equal: Getting Agentic AI Right for IT

Three months ago, a CIO told me her organization had “already deployed agents.” Her endpoint team assumed she meant the telemetry clients on every managed laptop. Her service desk thought she meant AI chatbots. Meanwhile, her security architect heard “autonomous decision-making.” They were all right and all talking past each other. This is the agent confusion problem.

Closing the Mobile Visibility Gap: Extending DEX to Mobile

In 2026, I think it’s safe to say that most mobile devices in enterprise organizations aren’t purchased just for their ability to make calls. And for millions of employees, especially frontline workers, their primary device isn’t even a laptop anymore - it’s a smartphone or tablet. Yet, mobile device insights have largely remained a blind spot for IT.

The Hidden Warning Signs Before Hybrid IT Outages (And How AI Finds Them)

Hybrid IT environments are the reality for most organizations today. Unfortunately, they’re also one of the biggest reasons outages are now harder to prevent. Between on-prem infrastructure, cloud services, SaaS platforms, distributed networks, and modern applications, IT teams are managing an ecosystem of dependencies that changes constantly.

14 Best Service Desk Software Tools Ranked by IT Pros (2026 Guide)

Choosing the best service desk software is one of your most important investments as a service-focused organization. We have seen how the right tool can transform IT support operations—and how the wrong one can create more problems than it solves. While comparing IT service desk tools, I discovered something surprising: pricing differences are staggering. Zendesk starts at $55 per agent/month, but alternatives like Desk365 begin at just $12.

Top 12 IT Asset Management (ITAM) Tools & Software for 2026

“Guys, where’s the invoice for that firewall upgrade last quarter?” asked Jason, the IT Operations Lead, during a surprise internal audit. Stella from procurement replied, “I think it’s on one of the shared drives… or maybe with Finance?” Meanwhile, Roman, the System Admin, had no idea who was using half the software licenses in the network. This is classic IT asset chaos: too many tools, scattered records, and no clear visibility.

ITAM vs CMDB: Differences, Overlap, and When You Need Both

Organizations frequently debate ITAM vs CMDB because both disciplines describe the same environment from different angles. A CMDB gives operational context – how services, applications, and infrastructure relate – so teams can restore service fast and manage risk. ITAM focuses on financial accountability, control, and governance across the asset management lifecycle, from request to retirement. In practice, the strongest ITSM operating models connect both.

Why AI Spells the DEATH of Workplace "Coasting": Jacob Morgan returns

Jacob Morgan returns to The DEX Show for another provocative conversation on the future of work, AI, and why 2026 is the year of accountability. Jacob argues that AI is exposing “performative work,” forcing organizations to rethink culture, leadership, and what real value creation looks like. We explore why company culture became too vague, why human judgment matters more than ever, and how leaders can avoid over-relying on AI at the expense of discernment, responsibility, and individuality. It’s a wide-ranging discussion on work, ambition, and the high-stakes reset now unfolding inside modern organizations.

See It All or Risk It All: The Truth About IT Visibility

In everyday life, ignoring what you cannot see may feel harmless. In IT, it creates a false sense of security and a costly illusion. Although many organizations use some form of asset discovery, 2026 security research from Ivanti reveals that more than 1 in 3 IT professionals (38%) report having insufficient data about devices accessing their networks, and 45% say they lack adequate information about shadow IT. This lack of visibility leaves critical assets at risk of going undetected and unmanaged.

Inventory to Intelligence: How AI and Automation Improve Endpoint Visibility

Endpoint visibility has always been foundational to IT and security. You can’t secure, patch or support what you can’t see. But as environments have become more distributed and complex, what visibility means has evolved. It’s no longer enough to know that a device exists — IT teams and organizations as a whole need to understand its health, its risk posture and its impact on both security and user experience.

How AI-Driven Automation Solves Patch Management Silos

"We see 10,000 critical vulnerabilities!" "We patched everything last week!" This conversation happens in enterprise IT departments every single day. Security teams present dashboards filled with red alerts. IT teams show deployment reports at 98% success. Both teams are looking at real data. Both are absolutely correct. And both are totally blind to what's actually happening across the endpoint environment. This isn't a people problem — your teams aren't incompetent.
