The Challenge

Easterseals Northern California was using a solution that did not conform to a best practice framework for service management. Their system had no provision for self-service, so Helpdesk Agents were spending more time answering phone calls than working to resolve issues.

Dashboards and reports were the biggest challenge for the company, as they were either non-existent or extremely limited. Growth in the business was quickly making their current setup virtually unworkable.

Technical Situation:

  • ServiceNow® instance upgrade was required to maintain serviceability
  • Manual processes were causing redundant tasks and inefficiencies
  • There was no method to monitor, track and scale IT Support
  • Security enhancements needed to be implemented

The Goal

Easterseals Northern California’s goal was to implement ServiceNow and follow recommended best practices. The team sought a single system of record to simplify processes and reduce redundant tasks.

They also aimed to set up a comprehensive IT Self-Service offering for their users that would support their current processes and help them prepare for future business growth. 

  • Follow ITIL best practices for IT service management
  • Establish a single system of record
  • ITSM to include: Incident, Problem, Change, Knowledge, Service Catalog and Employee Service Portal
  • Maintain currently established IT service processes where required
