How Sunrise can support Cherwell customers beyond its 2026 end of life
21 Feb 2024
As we bid farewell to Cherwell in 2026, we understand the concerns and uncertainties that may arise. Rest assured, we're here to guide you through a seamless transition to a reliable alternative. In this blog, we'll explore key considerations when seeking a new ITSM partner and demonstrate how Sunrise could be the solution you're looking for.
Automated Workflows
Automation in ITSM is a game-changer, offering the opportunity to streamline workflows and significantly improve efficiency. The adoption of automation tools allows your team to redirect their efforts from time-consuming tasks towards more strategic business objectives. This shift not only enhances productivity but also ensures that valuable resources are allocated where they matter most.
AI-Powered Chatbots
In the era of advanced technology, AI-powered chatbots stand out as a valuable asset in the ITSM landscape. Integrations with sophisticated chatbots, like ChatGPT, redefine knowledge discovery within the same ITSM tool. These intelligent chatbots empower your IT team to effortlessly access a wealth of information, providing quick solutions to common queries and streamlining the overall support process.
Self-Service Portals
Enhance the end-user experience by implementing a self-service portal. Through automation, users can easily log and monitor their tickets online, minimising the necessity for prolonged phone interactions. This not only boosts user satisfaction but also enables your IT team to prioritise incident resolution with greater focus and efficiency.
Seamless Integrations
Integration capabilities are the backbone of any efficient ITSM solution. Your ITSM platform should seamlessly integrate with other business applications to create a unified ecosystem. This cohesion allows for smooth information flow across various departments, breaking down silos and promoting collaboration.
Extending ITSM Across Activities
Don't operate in silos – extend your ITSM platform across various activities and incorporate related business disciplines into your daily IT processes. Manage supplier relationships, risk, customer contracts, expenses, any more, seamlessly from one platform.
