IFS Jira integration use case

One of your software teams manages IT service requests, incidents, and problems using IFS Assyst, while another, DevOps team, relies on Jira for tracking software issues. There is a strong need for streamlining the IT operations and improving collaboration between IT support and development teams. In the case of lack of IFS Assyst integration with Jira, data will need to the transferred by hand. It’s time-consuming task, that often ends with data duplications, misunderstandings, delays and bottlenecks.  

ZigiOps eliminates each of these critical problems, allowing automated exchange of information and bi-directional synchronization between the connected systems. ZigiOps IFS Jira integration facilitates seamless incident management: when a user reports an IT issue or service request in IFS Assyst, such as a software malfunction or account access request, it automatically triggers the creation of a corresponding issue in Jira. Relevant details from the IFS incident, including description, priority, category, and requester information, are then automatically synchronized with the Jira issue, thanks to ZigiOps, ensuring consistency between the two platforms. The synchronized Jira issue is subsequently assigned to the appropriate development team or individual based on predefined rules or workflows, enabling developers to track its progress within Jira and collaborate on resolution. Once the issue is resolved in Jira and marked as closed, the corresponding IFS incident is updated accordingly, ensuring the IT support team remains informed of the resolution status and can provide feedback to the user if needed. ZigiOps makes it possible for the integration  to optimize incident management processes, fosters collaboration between teams, and enhances overall efficiency in IT service delivery.
