Aeion Helpdesk for Internal IT
Internal IT helpdesks face different demands than customer support — employee ticket categories for hardware/software/access/identity, AI-assisted triage and skill routing, SLA tracking, KB search, and remote screen-share support. ServiceNow ITSM ($100-300K+/year), Jira Service Management ($20-95/agent/month), Freshservice ($19-95/agent/month) charge per-agent for this core. Aeion Helpdesk covers it natively at $49/mo flat, unlimited agents — but if your program depends on a formal CMDB, ITIL change-advisory-board workflow, or asset-depreciation/GL integration, those aren't built yet; read on for exactly what's real.

FAQ
Singularity connector migrates tickets, KB articles, and user records. CMDB/CI data and change-management history have no destination collection in Aeion today — plan to keep that data in ServiceNow (read-only) or a separate tool.
Aeion Auth SSO. Per-tenant SAML / OIDC. Per-tenant Aeion IDP OR Okta / Azure AD.
Per-employee branded portal. Per-employee ticket history. Per-employee KB search.
Incident management (severity, impact, SLA, escalation) is real. Problem management and formal change-management (CAB/RFC) are not built-in ITIL v4 workflows today.
Not built. There's no Change Advisory Board workflow, RFC collection, or scheduled-change/rollback tracking in Helpdesk today.
No CMDB exists. No Configuration Item collection, relationship graph, or dependency/impact-analysis queries.
No dedicated IT-asset lifecycle collection or automatic Aeion Finance/GL hand-off exists today.
Yes — Helpdesk has its own consent-gated screen-share/remote-control session feature. (Note: this is a Helpdesk-native capability, not the separate "Aeion Bridge" hardware-integration module.)
Per-tenant multi-language. Per-language AI translation. Per-language KB.
ServiceNow $100K-2M/year (ticketing + CMDB + change management). Aeion Helpdesk: $49/mo flat for the ticketing/routing/SLA/remote-support scope only — verify whether you still need a CMDB/change-mgmt tool before comparing totals.
