            American University needed to immediately shift to create a team management system for 4,500 faculty and staff working from home to keep education going for 13,000 students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Leveraging the Now Platform, team formation requests by faculty and staff in Service Portal/Service Catalog trigger automated workflows in Flow Designer and IntegrationHub.
The university has reduced the (MTTR) incident management time from 29 hours to 8 minutes, saved IT fulfiller productivity hours, and quickly addressed 150 team requests in the first month, enabling work to continue uninterrupted at remote locations.
         
    
 
    
    
    
    
    
        
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
        The new automated self-service experience for creating Microsoft Teams has helped our staff and faculty departments and committees to seamlessly transition to a remote working environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
