• A single service portal across all
services

assistance

Challenges and Recommendations for Self-Service
• Self-service not designed for
users
• Designed with IT goals in mind,
not the users
• Internal service orgs have not
applied the same approaches as
successfully B2C and Retail self
service
• Assuming low levels of self-
service usage, and imply users’
unwillingness to use self service.

Challenges and Recommendations for Self-Service
• Stay focused on the outcomes
• Getting end-users input
– Surveys focus groups
– Keeping them included even
after development
• Identify frequent, routine issues
– Look at existing tools for
analysis
• Consumer self-service as
inspiration
• Work with a strong UX design
team

Implementation Options
19
• Several tools are currently on the market
– ServiceNow
– Kinetic Request
– Coding our own
• Tools can generate tasks for fulfillment and approvals
– These can be tracked by fulfillment staff as well as the end-user who submitted
the request
• Portal can refer directly to other self-service tools
– IU example, or a link directly to webmail or PeopleSoft items
• Automation of simple tasks increases speed of fulfillment
– ServiceNow for example: Orchestration engine, REST, SOAP, Email
• To ensure use and feedback we need to have a strong plan to market the
portal
– Encourage use for all items and try multiple services

How soon can Harvard have a unified self-service portal?
21
• We can start now!
– HUIT already starting this year with Employees Self-service using
ServiceNow
– Are working to expand existing request catalog
• Why couldn’t we start now?
• However, self-service portals are never completed, and would require
constant maintenance, monitoring, access management, etc.
– The portal would become a service unto itself.
Next Steps
• How many have self-service for their services? How many are
working on them or plan to?
• Plan a informal discussion session on how we can work on this as a
unified effort?
