Functionality and Structure

AskAlma™ enables users to create predefined questions or formulate new queries dynamically, interacting with CIQ DEX data across three primary categories:

  1. Devices – Provides analytical insights related to device performance, hardware health, operating system stability, and user experience.
    Examples: identifying slow devices, detecting degraded storage performance, or analyzing CPU usage patterns.
  2. Collaboration – Focused on collaboration applications, such as Microsoft Teams, this category analyzes usage quality, call reliability, network latency, and sentiment metrics to identify and prevent performance degradation in real time.
  3. Business Applications – Delivers visibility into the behavior and performance of business-critical applications installed on devices, enabling impact analysis on productivity and application reliability.

AskAlma™ represents a key step toward a data-intelligent IT ecosystem, where questions are answered through the direct correlation of device, software, and user experience information — all within the CIQ DEX environment.
