ITSM Tool

Problem identification

The university used a basic, open source ticketing system to manage IT requests which, in the absence of a dedicated user portal, were activated by email or telephone. He wanted an integrated platform that included, in addition to the help desk, the CMDB and the Knowledge Base.

Needs and objectives

Manage IT requests in a structured and automated way
Adopt a CMDB to manage IT assets in relation to their physical location
Offer users a multilingual self-service portal
Choose a platform with a simple and intuitive user interface
ITSM Service Management

How Deepser met the company’s needs

The university’s IT area initially adopted Deepser’s Service Desk module to manage IT requests from teaching, administrative staff and students. Configured email integration for unregistered users and customized the multilingual user portal that users log in using their domain credentials. In fact, thanks to the integration with the university’s identity provider, users do not have to manage different credentials to access different systems. In the CMDB the IT area manages all IT assets. The physical location of these is also indicated in detail: the university campus, the building and the room.

Each IT department has different access and visibility permissions, so based on the department and the type of service managed, each operator sees the information relating to the services offered by their department, as well as the relevant part of the asset database. The asset inventory acts as a data source from which external IT Asset Management services draw via API. For faster ticket resolution, the Knowledge Base has been implemented. Some articles are also visible in the user portal, to facilitate the self-resolution of some requests. After about a year of use by the IT area, the university extended the use of Deepser to the faculty secretariats to automatically assign student requests to the correct office and manage them in a structured way.
