Abstract: Embodiments include a computer implemented method for automatically identifying an issue from a help message received via a chat interface and generating a response for responding to the help message. The method can include receiving one or more response templates that each include a reference to a resource associated with a help topic. The method can also include receiving, from a second user, a help request via the chat interface of a help channel. In response to receiving the help request the method can include parsing the help request to identify a help topic, generating a help desk ticket associated with the help request and generating a response message that includes an information resource associated with the help topic, and sending the response message to the user. In response to the user viewing the information resource and selecting a user interface element, the method can include automatically closing the help desk ticket.

Abstract: A method for use in an issue creation process, before an issue is submitted, in an issue tracking system (ITS), comprises receiving an unstructured user input expressing an issue description and comprising one or more query keywords; querying a database of historic issue data to determine historic issues from the historic issue data that are relevant to the one or more query keywords and, in response to the determination, extracting request types from the historic issues; generating, from the extracted request types, a list of possible request types for allocation to the unstructured user input; receiving a user input of a particular request type selected from the list of possible request types and, in response, allocating the particular request type to the issue. The issue is submitted to the ITS for routing the issue to an appropriate service desk according to the particular request type.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises, generating, for each group of a plurality of groups of user accounts, a collaboration index value representing a first level of interaction of the each group with other groups of the plurality of groups, the interaction comprising a plurality of operations using a plurality of different computer-implemented applications or functions, generating, for each group of the plurality of groups, a productivity index value, each productivity index value representing a second level of productivity of the respective group, the productivity comprising creating or editing electronic documents using the plurality of different computer-implemented applications or functions, storing, in one or more data repositories, a plurality of first recommendation segments for a collaboration index, each of the first recommendation segments for the collaboration index indicating a range of collaboration index values, storing, in one or more data repositories, a plurality of second recommendation
