# SysAid Integration
SysAid is an AI-native ITSM platform built to automate the heavy lifting of modern IT. Unlike legacy tools, SysAid uses built-in AI to proactively prioritize tasks, summarize ticket histories, and provide instant resolutions to end users and IT admins alike. By centralizing assets and workflows into an intelligent ecosystem, SysAid moves IT teams away from manual ticket handling and toward high-speed, automated service delivery.
When you connect SysAid with ilert, tickets and ticket updates can automatically create, update, and resolve alerts in ilert – ensuring the right on-call engineers are notified with context, routed by priority or service, and escalated until acknowledged. This closes the gap between ITSM workflows and real-time incident response, helping teams shorten detection-to-response time and lower MTTR.
