Service outage detection and customer support ticket management system and method using integrated programmatic and specialized guided and constrained artificial intelligence

The Artificial Intelligence driven service outage detection and customer support ticket management system in customer support platforms includes a customer support platform that is operatively coupled to the service outage detection system. A data collector gathers input data from a product status page and a service request tracker document. A service outage detector (SRT) detects the service outage by monitoring the product status page and incoming customer support tickets raised against the products by the users. A comparator compares the details of the product status page and the SRT document to confirm the occurrence of the service outage. A customer support ticket router updates the customer support ticket routing process based on the confirmed service outage status. A response generator generates an automated, predefined response including service outage information and any expected resolution or alternative support options and notifies the user utilizing a notification module.

Bridging end user customer support with cloud operator customer support

Technologies for upgrading a service work order between two service providers include receiving, at an initial service provider, an initial service work order for resolving a problem from an affected entity affected by the problem. The initial service work order includes a set of access limited attributes of the affected entity. Based on the initial service work order, the system generates an upgraded service work order at the initial service provider. The upgraded service work order identifies the problem and omits access limited attributes. The system passes the upgraded service work order to a higher level service provider that is not authorized to access the set of access limited attributes included in the initial service work order. In response to transmitting the upgraded service work order, the system receives information corresponding to the resolution of the problem from the higher level service provider and processes the initial service work order based on the information corresponding to the resolution of the problem.
