Transforming ServiceNow ITSM Experience for a Global Manufacturing Leader

Written by Brian Devane | March 27, 2024

Headquartered in Indiana, the customer is an international manufacturer and supplier specializing in highly engineered components for diverse sectors. They operate over 140 facilities across the globe and are known for their exceptional customer service, innovation, and high-quality products.

As an existing ServiceNow ITSM user, the customer recognized the need to improve access to their IT support. This implementation’s primary focus was to boost operational efficiency and service delivery across the organization. 

Key Challenges  

  • Support teams limited in maximizing efficiency, leading to delays in resolving IT issues and hampering overall productivity. 
  • The existing setup posed challenges for the customer in meeting the needs of their employees. 
  • Pressing internal need to leverage advanced ServiceNow technologies to drive innovation and enhance the overall IT service experience. 

To better serve both employees and agents, the customer turned to INRY, an Elite partner of ServiceNow. INRY is renowned for its expertise in implementing ServiceNow IT Service Management solutions. Through this collaboration, the customer’s goal was to elevate IT Service Delivery experience by transitioning to ITSM Pro, integrating features such as Virtual Agent and Agent Workspace.

INRY's Approach 

In only 6 weeks, INRY’s technical experts, leveraging their skills augmented with INRY’s proven Project Methodology – Process Area Specific Sprints (PASS), led a significant transformation of the customer's ITSM processes. Committed to enhancing customer experiences and raising service delivery standards, INRY seamlessly implemented Virtual Agent, an AI-powered chatbot. The virtual agent interacts with users using natural language conversations to assist employees by automating responses to routine inquiries, reducing the need for IT Helpdesk involvement for resolving general inquiries. Agent Workspace was also implemented, providing a centralized, unified view for managing incidents and tasks from one single location. This allowed the agents to access all relevant information without navigating through multiple screens, thereby reducing friction and increasing productivity. 

Results

Following the implementation, the customer experienced significant improvements in their IT service management capabilities which include: 

  • Reduced Workload: Virtual Agent promptly handled common inquiries, reducing the number of incoming tickets, saving time for IT support staff, and empowering them to focus on more demanding tasks. 
  • Enhanced Service Quality: Virtual Agent improved the quality of service and response times, effectively fulfilling user expectations and enriching the overall IT Service Delivery experience with high satisfaction. 
  • Efficient Resolution: Agent Workspace facilitated speedy incident resolution by providing agents with information, suggestions, and tools needed for effective problem-solving, minimizing downtime, and ensuring a seamless user experience. 
  • Incident Prioritization: Agents could anticipate and prioritize critical issues, ensuring timely resolution, thereby minimizing business impact. 
  • Improved Collaboration: Fostered collaboration among agents through internal communication and knowledge sharing, promoting teamwork to address issues more effectively using the Agent Workspace.
