COCC uses ServiceNow to manage customer service tasks, and Jira to manage DevOps projects and issues. The ZigiOps tool helped COCC connect their Customer Service and DevOps systems by integrating Jira with ServiceNow. Now, their teams are able to automatically transfer information in real-time and respond to issues faster.

The integration also includes immediate updates in both directions. When there are changes in the customer service tasks in ServiceNow, they are automatically updated in Jira, and vice versa.

With the ZigiOps seamless integration, COCC teams can interact more effectively and access critical information in real-time.

Challenge Overview

COCC is a client-centric company and their mission includes being a trusted partner, delivering secure, quality solutions that drive the success of financial institutions. As a result, their customer service team must be extremely precise and capable of promptly resolving issues. The right software and appropriate automation can be greatly beneficial to achieve these goals. However, being a large enterprise, COCCs teams are using a variety of software tools.

The company is using ServiceNow to track and manage customer requests. Their DevOps team is using Jira to manage projects and different development needs.

These two separate systems at COCC were not connected. This often led to missing information and bottlenecks because of the manual transfer of data. When there was a request which needed the development teams attention, someone needed to open Jira and manually enter it. When there was an update or a change regarding a specific task, someone needed to open ServiceNow and manually enter the update. It was challenging to avoid delays, duplicated records and it omitted important information.

COCC wanted to find a way to automate the process of entering data from one system to another. They wished to improve cross-team collaborations, speed up response times and boost customer satisfaction.

After researching a few options, they found out that the ZigiOps no-code integration platform would be the easiest and fastest way to achieve these goals.

Solution

The integration with ZigiOps requires no coding and is quite fast to set up. COCC used ZigiOps to integrate their ServiceNow and Jira instances. They mapped the data types they needed and created filters to define the specific conditions for a task to be transferred from ServiceNow to Jira.

The integration is bi-directional and completes the following tasks automatically:

ServiceNow (Customer Service Tasks) > Jira (Issues) (bi-directional)

• Collect customer service tasks from ServiceNow to create issues in Jira.
• Synchronize the changes of the ServiceNow customer service tasks with the issues in Jira.
• Synchronize the changes of the Jira issues back to the customer service tasks in ServiceNow.

The integration with ZigiOps allowed COCC to specify in detail which ServiceNow tasks should be logged to Jira as issues and what information needs to transfer, as the integration platform has advanced data mapping and filtering features.

ZigiOps detects when there is a ServiceNow task corresponding to the conditions to be transferred to Jira. The integration platform then automatically enters all of the task details in a Jira issue that it creates specifically for that purpose.

If the task in ServiceNow is updated or has any changes in the status, ZigiOps automatically detects that and updates the Jira issue accordingly.

If the Jira issue is updated or closed, this also automatically actualizes the ServiceNow task. When the task is closed the customer is notified that the issue has been resolved.
