Project Summary

The ServiceNow Teams Integration project, which went live on November 18, 2024, enhances IT communication and support by connecting Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 with ServiceNow.

As part of this integration, a new feature was added to the ServiceNow portal, enabling real-time communication via chat between customers and the WashU IT support agents. The chat option complemented the existing phone and email support, providing customers with the flexibility and convenience to contact WashU IT for support through their preferred channel.

Note: The Chat service offered through the ServiceNow Portal is staffed by live agents. Chat hours vary during University holidays. View upcoming holiday hours.

Customers benefit from access to self-service options and quick support resolutions, and multiple agents are available simultaneously to assist customers. Additionally, agents can follow up with customers regarding ticket updates or post-resolution check-ins to ensure all needs are met and no further assistance is needed. It’s a win for everyone!
