Business Office Ticking in ServiceNow (BOTS)
Business Office Ticketing in ServiceNow (BOTS)
Visit often for frequent updates!
Business Office Ticketing in ServiceNow (BOTS) is an initiative sponsored by the Academic Affairs Finance & Administration (AAFA) and operated by COE, managed by Assitant Director Kevin Waldrop. The program was piloted for central administrative business offices in order to move from siloed, private email requests to a ticketing system that provides efficiency, support backup, data and improved customer service. In the summer of 2022, the pilot moved to full production and currently offers customer request workflows for most business office services.
WHO?
These administrative business offices from Academic Affairs and Student Affairs are currently participating in BOTS.
WHAT?
The program is structured with representatives from participating administrative business offices that are organized into functional workgroups. Workgroups have one representative from each business office and meet quarterly to prioritize next steps for new forms and process improvements.
HOW?
Customers only need to bookmark one location, their business office website 'Get Help' page. This menu provides a list of available services with links to forms and resources. Tickets created in ServiceNow are routed to the appropriate group for assistance by business office staff.
