Overview

One of the world’s largest and fastest-growing Social Good Technology companies faced challenges in managing IT service operations efficiently due to the recent acquisitions of multiple organizations. These acquisitions came with multiple Jira Service Management (JSM) instances as well as varying processes, workflows and methods of supporting customers. Recognizing the need for a unified service management approach, the decision was made to consolidate these instances into a single, centralized Atlassian Jira Service Management platform.

Evaluating Information Security Risk and Compliance Operations

The Information Security Risk and Compliance (ISRC) department at this client was tasked with improving its internal workload management and response processes. The ISRC department plays a critical role in the organization's efforts to protect its information assets, maintain regulatory compliance, and mitigate cybersecurity risks. Responsiveness and accuracy are of the utmost importance.

When the ISRC team witnessed the success and improvements made by the Corporate IT department, ISRC was eager to be a part of the platform and start addressing its pain points.

The ISRC team had been struggling to manage customer requests due to the lack of a formal ticketing system. They relied heavily on email and spreadsheets, without a centralized platform to track their open tasks. This resulted in delays in providing support and frequent customer escalations. Furthermore, customers had no visibility into the status of their requests or where they were in the process.

E7's preparedness for our project kickoff and the initial discovery sessions really enabled all involved to hit the ground running, and the collaborative working sessions were always productive allowing our teams to remain efficient throughout the engagement.
