The True Value of Ending Poor Service Management with SnapAssign

[#1]

Service management is at the core of every business operation, and inefficiencies in this area can create a ripple effect—delays, frustrated teams, and dissatisfied customers. According to a new study by Forrester, organizations that switched to Jira Service Management saw $2.3 million in savings over three years by eliminating outdated solutions. Beyond cost savings, companies also benefited from improved collaboration, visibility, and service delivery.

But transitioning to a better platform is just one part of the equation. To fully unlock the benefits of a modern service management approach, teams need to optimize how work is assigned, tracked, and resolved. That’s where SnapAssign makes a real impact.

Where Poor Service Management Fails

One of the biggest challenges in IT service management is task misallocation. When tickets are randomly assigned, repeatedly given to the same individuals, or lost in the backlog, service teams struggle to keep up. This leads to:

• Longer resolution times due to unbalanced workloads

• Overburdened employees while others remain underutilized

• Lack of accountability when tasks are reassigned too frequently

• Dissatisfied customers who experience service delays

These issues undermine the very benefits that organizations seek when upgrading their service management platform. Without intelligent task distribution, even the best ITSM tool can fail to deliver its full value.

How SnapAssign Maximizes the Value of Jira Service Management

SnapAssign complements Jira Service Management by ensuring that every service request is assigned to the right person at the right time. Instead of relying on manual distribution or inefficient default settings, SnapAssign automates task assignments through intelligent rules that align with team capacity, expertise, and workflow priorities.

Companies that move to Jira Service Management can further increase efficiency and cost savings by integrating SnapAssign’s smart assignment capabilities into their workflow.

• Optimized Workload Distribution – Ensures an even spread of service requests so no single agent is overloaded.

• Round Robin Assignments – Guarantees fairness and prevents repeated task assignments to the same individuals.

• Whitelist Rules – Directs specific request types to the most qualified teams, reducing unnecessary escalations.

• Custom Calendars – Assigns tasks based on agent availability, preventing delays due to time-off gaps.

By automating and optimizing ticket assignments, service teams can resolve issues faster, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce manual intervention, all of which contribute to greater ROI from Jira Service Management.

A Smarter Path to Cost Savings and Efficiency

Forrester’s study shows that companies transitioning to Jira Service Management achieve a 275% return on investment, with a total gain of $9.5 million over three years. But to truly maximize the potential of their ITSM platform, organizations need more than just a better tool—they need a better way to manage work distribution.

By eliminating poor service management practices with SnapAssign’s smart assignment features, teams can amplify the benefits of their transition, delivering faster resolutions, reducing operational costs, and ensuring a seamless service experience.

The real value of ending poor service management isn’t just in cutting costs—it’s in building an agile, efficient, and highly responsive service team.
