How would you like to create a service portal your employees (or customers) will love?
Much of the reason for the portal-user experience disconnect is that we've continued to grow and mature from the original portals of early 2000s by introducing new tools and features along the way without actually modernizing the experience. The biggest problem with many older portals is simply that they were designed to scale IT, but the modern approach focuses on how we can change the user's experience of the portal and support.
Today's modern portal approach has several areas that are different from legacy portals:
- A modern portal is designed for the human experience (think Humanizing IT at the level of the portal)
- AI and automation converts the portal to a communication tool for repairs that seem ticketless to the end user
- Modern portals integrate with Identify Access Management and HR tools to streamline employee transitions
This session focuses on the expectations for a modern service portal experience and how to create one. Go beyond the service request catalog and learn how to redesign a portal your humans will love!
