The Tricentis Intelligent Swarming (IS) case study explores their journey in the early adoption of the IS framework. Intelligent Swarming increases efficiency, energises agents and engineers and ensures support work gets to the right person faster. Tricentis now uses this framework to increase collaboration and customer and employee satisfaction.

The Tricentis study suggests Intelligent Swarming should not be a “Support thing.” It’s about collaboration within and across teams. Therefore, key teams should design the process from the beginning. When Intelligent Swarming is in place, an incoming incident will, ideally, only be visible to the support agents who are best able to solve it. To make this a reality at Tricentis, there were several things needed, including the creation of expertise profiles of each agent in their global support network. They also needed a mechanism to direct incidents to the correct people. Each support agent indicated his or her areas of expertise. These areas were also used as tags in the IT Service Management tool (ITSM).
