Creating a more organized approach across a number of teams
Mintra approached New Verve to help them create a solution that would enable them to better organise their service desk. They wanted a clearer understanding of project requirements and priorities and a more structured approach when classifying service desk tickets.
Mintra also requested a solution that created a more efficient internal working structure to help them work more productively across teams and easily identify customer and agent delays. They required a clearer ownership of tasks and more consistency when handling support requests.
Enhancing Jira Service Management to improve internal and external interactions with service requests
As Mintra had an existing Jira Service Management project in heavy use, we were able to use this as a base and enhance it with new configurations and automations. We updated their service desk to configure new requests alongside their existing ones, so they could now be classified as either service request, support request, development request, consultancy request, quote or a service job. The requests were then organized by request type, issue type and SLA and this extra information enabled them to be easily assigned to the correct team and provided more insight if there were any delays in the process.
We also implemented automations to activate simple tasks in order to remove the need for manual input, so the tasks were more efficient and less error prone. Some examples of the automations used are:
- the transition of issues after customer responses;
- closure of resolved requests after 30 days;
- the creation of requests when customers replied to a closed request.
These automations allowed Mintra to focus on more critical work, knowing that the simple, organizational tasks were covered.
Finally, we merged the enhanced service desk solution with another of Mintra’s existing service desks which had over 100,000 issues. We attributed the same configurations and automations to this second service desk so that Mintra’s two projects could be merged into one. By doing this, we improved consistency and standards across all support requests.
A solution that enhanced Mintra’s customer support and internal collaboration
New Verve assisted Mintra in updating their existing Jira Service Management project to create a service desk that helped them to more efficiently manage service requests and, therefore, provide better customer support.
