What are the benefits of a cloud-based IT ticketing system?

A cloud-based IT ticketing system is quicker to set up than on-premise software, needs no servers or upgrades to maintain, works from anywhere, scales with headcount, connects easily to SaaS tools such as Slack, Okta and HR systems, and increasingly includes AI that triages, answers and resolves common requests automatically.
