Journey to success: The Finance of America experience
The Finance of America journey has been a long and twisty one that went from manual to automated. Between emails, spreadsheets and the dreaded "other" category, there was little structure in the IT processes. Today, getting assistance from IT has never been easier for on-the- go employees with the introduction of mobile and chat. One small team rebuilt everything from automated onboarding, proper assignment in a fancy service catalog, to mobile and chat. Don’t miss this session, featuring Meghan Sander, technical business analyst for Finance of America Mortgage.

7-Eleven’s journey to being customer obsessed: Merging 16 service desks and 32 integrations in 11 months
Talk about one stop shopping! 7-Eleven merged 16 service desks and completed 32 internal and external integrations within 11 months. They created a 7Help Store Support Portal that is accessible any time, from anywhere, from any device and is a one stop shop for all support needs. There were too many points of contact, multiple systems, and duplicate cases, resulting in increased cost for franchisees. Before 7-Eleven consolidated on the Now Platform, challenging questions used to come up: What’s the average cost of support for that store footprint? Is that profitable for us to run? Why do I have to call to get the status of my case? What does our combined caseload look like for the stores in my area? It had to stop. In this session, learn why 25 million+ people love 7-Eleven and how the company became customer-obsessed. Find it here!
