Cherwell CORE
WorkFlow Automation Engine
Handle Requests and Tickets Faster and More Efficiently
At its core, Cherwell Service Management is a platform for automating workflows. This includes complete processes such as ITIL® incident, problem, and change which you can visually configure or modify, like tailoring the normal change process and tasks for different CI types. It also includes automating common or repetitive actions, such as creating a change request from a problem, escalating an incident from level 1 to level 2, obtaining approvals, or resetting a password. Plus you can automate your own customer-created application workflows and their supporting actions.

Automated Workflows
Automate simple and complex workflows, common actions, and routine tasks to increase operational efficiency. With Cherwell CORE’s automation engine, you can automate processes without relying on costly development resources, so your team can deliver services more quickly and cost effectively. Out-of-the-box automations such as creating problems or new catalog items, canceling service orders, and launching SLA breech warnings make it easy to get started. You can run workflows manually or execute them automatically against individual records or groups of records.

Standard Task Automation
Cherwell automations can initiate one or more defined actions to automate common or repetitive tasks. Not only does automating standard work complete those actions faster and avoid potential errors, it frees up resources and staff time to focus more on value-added work. You can easily automate setting status on records, sending emails, invoking tasks, setting priorities, and closing requests. The graphical editor makes creating new custom actions quick and easy. Plus, you can combine multiple automated steps in reusable Action Blocks.

Whether completed in-house, with a Cherwell partner, or through Cherwell Professional Services, delivering additional IT and non-IT services on the common platform standardizes manual processes and provides a better user experience by consolidating where and how requests are handled.
