About the Client
The client is a telecom operator running regional teams on three separate legacy ITSM tools, each handling requests its own way.
Client's Requirement
The operator came to us with regional teams working out of three tools that never talked to each other. A handful of underlying issues kept surfacing across the engagement.
- Three Disconnected Legacy Tools: Each region ran its own ITSM platform. A request that crossed regional lines had nowhere consistent to land.
- Fragmented Ticket Queues: Requests piled up across separate queues with no shared view between them — nobody could say with confidence what the total backlog actually looked like.
- Unclear Ownership: Tickets sometimes sat waiting because no single system tracked a request end to end, and no team was clearly on the hook for picking it up.
- No Real-Time Network Visibility: Monitoring tools operated separately from the ticketing systems, so a network issue and the ticket tracking it didn't always connect.
Solution We Delivered
We brought three fragmented ITSM environments together into one system, without disrupting the service requests already moving through them. Each part of the engagement addressed a specific gap identified in the requirement phase.
Legacy ITSM Consolidation
Aegis Softtech consolidated three separate legacy ITSM tools into a single ServiceNow instance through a structured ServiceNow Consulting engagement, giving every region one system instead of three that never lined up.
Parallel Environment Migration
We ran the new ServiceNow environment alongside the legacy tools during migration, so regional teams kept working without downtime while the cutover happened behind the scenes.
Historical Data Migration
Years of network and customer service data moved into ServiceNow as part of the migration, preserving the history teams still needed to reference after go-live.
Monitoring Tool Integration
We connected the client's monitoring tools directly into ServiceNow, so a network issue and its corresponding ticket now live in the same place instead of two disconnected systems.
Ownership and Escalation Clarity
The new instance assigns clear ownership to every request, replacing the ambiguity that used to leave tickets sitting with no team accountable for them.
The Results
The client saw the following outcomes:
- Service Request Backlog:
Dropped 35% once regional teams stopped working out of separate queues. - System Consolidation:
Legacy ITSM tools retired down to one ServiceNow instance. Maintenance overhead dropped along with them. - Ticket Ownership:
Every request now has a clear owner from intake through resolution — no more tickets stalling because nobody claimed them. - Network Visibility:
Monitoring data and ticketing sit in the same system now, so a network issue surfaces alongside the ticket tracking it instead of in a separate tool. - Migration Continuity:
Regional teams experienced no downtime during the transition, thanks to the parallel-run approach, and historical data carried over intact.
