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.

When a CFO evaluates a technology investment, the natural focus is often on cost reduction. That's a valid perspective-and one that will always matter-but what if there were a smarter, more impactful way to improve EBITDA?
