Where Pia is heading
Pia exists to remove work from the service desk. Here's what we're building, and what's already live for partners today.
26 items across five product areas, 7 of them live for partners today. Live now means available today, in build means in active development.
Every request automated, however it arrives
Clients reach out however is easiest for them. They chat, they email, they call, they grab someone in a corridor. We want Pia to take the request wherever it starts and carry it through to a resolution, so your technicians spend their time on the work that genuinely needs a person.
Automation anyone can build
Most automation should be within reach of anyone on your team. Describe what you want and Pia builds it. When you need real control, the code, the extension points and the API are all still there. Your builders get a faster start, and everyone else gets a way in.

Engage
Your clients' IT support inside Microsoft Teams. Two goals: give end users enough visibility and control to close their own issues, and give your team more control over what they see and do.

Self-serve SmartForms In build
SmartForms are guided request forms that run an automation the moment they're submitted. These are the same forms your admins already have, scoped so an end user can only change their own account: mailbox permissions, mail forwarding rules, calendar permissions, network password reset and out of office.
Ticket triage
How accurately a request is read, categorized and routed the moment it arrives. Two changes are underway.
