This eBook highlights examples of how no-code automation with the right ITSM platform can help.
We’ll show you some of our best situations and show you exactly how to execute them to get immediate results. The best part is, iPaaS tools often feature easy-to-use click and drag functionality, meaning you don’t need a dedicated employee building integrations and workflows.

When contemplating the use of automation and integration as part of a broader Enterprise Service Management (ESM) strategy, it’s important to consider the different ways a tool like iPaaS (integration platform as a service) can be used to extend ESM even further.
At Winston-Salem University, they’ve done just that. Derrick Hargrove and his team in the Office of Information Technology, are using iPaaS to automate processes throughout the University that directly impact service resolution times whether in IT, the Office of the Registrar, the financial aid office or human resources. Hargrove said the university started building iPaaS workflows to address various challenges they had with both system access and access to various apps and software provided to students, employees and faculty at the university.
“By creating these workflows within iPaaS we are able to save a significant amount of time,” Hargrove said. “Previously we’ve had situations where system access has held up a ticket so having the automated approval and access granted through iPaaS has helped us avoid those issues. And when you have people who need certain access or software to do their jobs, it’s nice to be able to provide that almost instantaneous resolution. It’s been a big win for us.”
The university has flows in place to grant system access based on different groups within Active Directory. Those same groups are utilized to run flows to grant access to things like Microsoft Teams and Adobe Creative Cloud.
Another way in which Hargrove and his team plan to use iPaaS is to clean up data as it flows into the university’s Banner ERP system.
“Over the years we’ve noticed different departments refer to themselves by different names than we might have in our system. To help clean this up, we have built data cleansing flows within iPaaS. The flow is pulling the names and checking against what we have as the standardized name, then notifying our Human Resources department if there are any outliers so we can go in and make sure we’re including all the departments we need to, and make any corrections needed.”
Prior to iPaaS the discrepancies in department names were causing issues when granting system access and software licenses – either due to misspellings or the requestor using a non-standard department name.
“Having this whole process be automated, including the notifications out to our human resources team about any correction needed will save us a lot of time,” Hargrove said.
