When students need help—be it IT support, admissions questions, or HR paperwork—they expect a single, fast solution. Yet too many universities operate in silos, with separate ticketing queues for every department. The result? Mixed-up requests, longer wait times, and frustrated users.
The Game-Changer: One Unified Service Desk
By consolidating all departmental queues into a single Jira Service Management (JSM) portal, campuses can:
-
Auto-route every ticket to the right team instantly
-
Standardize SLAs and priorities across all support areas
-
Give students one home for any and every request
-
Eliminate misrouted tickets and duplicated effort
This single-portal approach means support agents spend less time juggling tools—and more time solving problems.
The Cost of Siloed Support
Before merging, universities typically faced:
-
Student confusion over which system to use
-
Tickets ping-ponging between departments
-
Inconsistent SLA tracking and reporting headaches
-
Longer resolution times, even for routine issues
All of which culminated in frustrated students, overworked staff, and hidden operational costs.
A 4-Week Path to Unified Support
Clovity’s proven four-week rollout makes consolidation painless:
Week | Focus | Key Activities |
---|---|---|
1 | Map & Prioritize | Inventory existing queues, catalog every request type, identify overlaps |
2 | Configure JSM Portal | Build unified queues, define routing rules, set SLAs and priorities |
3 | Add Self-Service | Launch integrated knowledge base & chatbot to deflect common questions |
4 | Pilot & Refine | Test with select users, gather feedback, adjust workflows, then go campus-wide |
Real Impact—Fast
By day 91, these benchmarks become reality:
-
30% faster ticket resolution
-
22% fewer SLA misses
-
$35 → $22 cost per ticket
-
