ChangeGear + Luma: A Modern, AI-First Service Desk That Scales With Your Business

User productivity rises when support gets out of the way. Today’s employees expect help to be fast, accurate, and available in the channels they already use. ChangeGear delivers that experience by pairing proven ITSM capabilities with Luma’s AI—the result is a service desk that resolves routine needs instantly, routes complex issues cleanly, and continuously learns from every interaction.

Meet users where they are—with answers, not forms

At the heart of the modern experience is Luma Virtual Agent. It understands natural language, reads your service catalog, and offers the right service in conversation—no hunting through portals required. High-volume requests like password resets or Wi-Fi help can be completed automatically. When a human is needed, Luma gathers complete context and opens a fully formed ticket so analysts start on third base, not from scratch. Because Luma works natively inside ChangeGear, handoffs are seamless and the same knowledge powers both the conversation and the analyst desktop.

For teams that still want a browsable entry point, ChangeGear’s Self-Service Portal provides a personalized hub for solutions, requests, and status—tailored to users or functional groups and consistent across channels.

AI that shortens every ticket—and deflects many

AI Feature Packs bring machine learning to everyday service work. Using your historical data, ChangeGear recommends the most likely category, assignment, and priority so tickets get to the right queue the first time. Field Recommender accelerates ticket completion by auto-suggesting values based on patterns you’ve already solved. Smart Responder surfaces relevant knowledge in real time to improve replies and, when appropriate, estimates a realistic time to resolution by comparing the request to similar cases. Together these capabilities reduce back-and-forth, increase first-contact resolution, and keep analysts focused on higher-value work.

Self-service compounds those gains. Independent research shows organizations can trim 25% or more from service desk costs by shifting common needs to self-service—savings that scale with the size of your team.

ITSM you can trust on day one

ChangeGear includes the ITIL-aligned core you’d expect—incident, request, problem, change, release, knowledge, service catalog and portfolio, configuration, and asset management—but without the heavy lift. Out-of-the-box processes, configurable forms and fields, and a no-code admin experience mean you can get value quickly instead of spending months on setup. The platform is designed for business agility, time-to-value, and scale, so you can add services, tweak workflows, and roll out new channels without re-platforming.

Automation that keeps work moving

Automation isn’t limited to one corner of the tool. ITSM automation runs across business policy enforcement, SLA management, approval routing, VIP handling, and more. Routine interactions are handled consistently; approvals land with the right people; escalations fire on time; and service levels are enforced without manual babysitting. For deeper integrations, ChangeGear connects to your communication channels and business applications, so processes cut across tools without brittle point-to-point wiring.

Advanced change management when risk is on the line

Change is where risk concentrates, and ChangeGear’s heritage shows. Originally launched as a change solution, it remains one of the most mature offerings in the market. You get multi-modal change processes, hierarchical approvals, and calendar-aware change windows and blackout periods to plan and protect production. If governance and audit are priorities, these controls give you the rigor you need without slowing the work that keeps the business moving.

Flexible licensing and deployment that fit your reality

Every organization buys and runs software differently, so ChangeGear meets you where you are. Choose on-premises, hybrid, or cloud hosting. Mix named and concurrent licenses to match your team’s usage patterns. Track assets as discovered or managed, and extend into the CMDB when you’re ready. The goal is simple: align cost with value, and scale at your pace.
