Enterprise Service Management with ServiceNow

Creating a unified service portal for enhanced employee experience
Introduction

A Europe-based manufacturing company uses legacy software for workflow management and employee service within the organization. The legacy system has a complex user interface and requires the user – its employees to access different portals for different processes, resulting in low user experience and miscommunication while resolving their issues. The client organization too faced mismanagement issues and observed a silo effect within the organization. The legacy system incurred heavy maintenance costs as the organization required frequent time-consuming software updates and had privacy and confidentiality issues. The client organization wanted to create a unified portal to increase transparency, efficiency, and productivity within its workforce.

Vatsa Solution: Unified Service Portal Using ServiceNow’s Employee Center Pro Module

Vatsa leveraged the ServiceNow platform and configured and customized its Employee Centre module to simplify the employee services and enhance the end-user experience. ServiceNow offers a single cloud platform to help businesses drive innovation, transform management services, and align their business goals.

Vatsa’s team of experts helped the client develop new plans for the portal and its supporting components. Data management ensured that the data within the departments, primarily IT, HR, Finance, and Procurement remained secure, organized, and helped in real-time reporting. Using the app design studio by ServiceNow, Vatsa developed scoped applications
along with the portal.

A huge part of the project was enhancing the UI/UX of the enterprise service management system. Vatsa delivered customizations of widgets, dashboards, and reporting keeping the end-users in mind. The integration of conversational AI came with various features such as instant service requests, an overview of status updates, speedy acquirement of reports, easy search for knowledge articles, and multiple language translation among other features that
helped the globally dispersed workforce. ServiceNow Dynamic Translation helped translate catalogs and knowledge articles to better cater to the multilingual end-users. A global AI search option was also configured with added functionalities.
