The Background
A healthcare network operating in nineteen states wanted to modernize its ITSM for more than 9,000 employees, including medical professionals with potentially urgent tech-support needs. Terazo was brought in to develop a contact center with a dynamic IVR, call routing, and advanced analytics, fully integrated with ServiceNow.
The Challenge
An industry leader in long-term acute care and inpatient rehabilitation with more than 50 facilities sought a way to consolidate, stabilize, and streamline its 24/7 IT support coverage for more than 9,000 employees. After migrating to ServiceNow to manage IT service issues, the company aimed to improve its support procedures with a Twilio Flex-powered contact center integrated with their ServiceNow instance.
Our Approach
Terazo reviewed the existing phone system and ServiceNow configuration and created a multi-featured Twilio IVR that aligned with the previous workflow. In concert with the client’s technical leadership, we consolidated menu options and expanded voice. We then implemented a custom plugin that embeds a Flex Contact Center panel inside the ServiceNow platform the company was already using, scripting API endpoints for data delivery from the Twilio IVR, automating procedures for incident management, and requesting fulfillment in a single ServiceNow. Terazo also added priority call routing and a voicemail option that automatically generates tickets in ServiceNow.
