Federation University had a small service desk and phone-heavy support model, which kept self-service low and made it harder to launch new digital services quickly. Federation University implemented a ServiceNow-centered stack built around IT Service Management, Virtual Agent, and Employee Center. Key components included IT Service Management standardizes incidents and requests; Virtual Agent handles conversational self-service; Employee Center provides a single employee portal. The stack also connected SharePoint and Microsoft Teams so the workflows could reuse existing records, documents, and collaboration channels instead of forcing teams back into manual handoffs. Requests enter through Virtual Agent and Employee Center, and uses context from SharePoint and Microsoft Teams before IT Service Management routes or fulfills the work. The same record of work is then exposed back to agents and end users through the platform.

The goal was to leverage the features of Employee Center, Virtual Agent, AI functionality, and Performance Analytics to increase service desk efficiency and elevate the experience
These are supported by improved access to AI insights, task automations, and the availability of all information necessary to manage interactions within a single view
This has significantly simplified how students and staff access services, and improved user engagement.” Since the adoption of ServiceNow Employee Center, six additional business units have established a presence on the platform
“As a result, 70% of incidents are resolved at first contact and our customer satisfaction score is now above 90%.” To grow the self-service rate further, Federation University adopted ServiceNow ITSM Professional (ITSM Pro) at the end of 2023
“By building the IT service portal with ServiceNow ITSM, we saw an 18% increase in the self-service rate and 48,000 views on knowledge articles throughout 2023,” Ben explains
