Enhancing CustomerService Efficiency: Integrating Genesys with ServiceNow CSM

Seamless service management is critical for delivering exceptional customer experiences. One of Canada’s top telecommunications providers sought to optimize its IT Service Management (ITSM) and Human Resources Service Delivery (HRSD) processes through ServiceNow. The goal was to centralize disparate data sources, enhance automation, and improve overall efficiency.

The Challenge: Unifying Service Operations

Operating in a complex digital landscape, the telecom provider faced challenges in consolidating data from multiple sources, including UPC, Digitek, CPM, and BCIM. The lack of a unified system hindered efficiency, creating bottlenecks in customer service operations. The company aimed to leverage ServiceNow’s Customer Service Management (CSM) module to streamline processes, integrate data sources, and enhance service delivery.
