How one Employee Learns a Customer’s Business – NewsChannel, December 2015

Pasquale Magneri is fairly new to the ServiceChannel. As he puts it, ”I have been with the company for an amazing one year and eight months.” His personality lights up a room as much as his smile. Pasquale is definitely a people person and his job is to work closely with ServiceChannel’s clients during the implementation process to get them up and running using the ServiceChannel platform. As Pasquale notes, ”I learn the client’s business process and rules and ensure that the service automation reflects their wants and needs.” But Pasquale is not alone in this endeavor. “I, of course, am nothing without my team. The implementation family, Shari Johnson, Michele Burke, Michael Rivisto, Carl Bubeck and Kaitlyn Amundseni. Every single one of them supports me, and I them, as we are working together with our clients.”

One of the best tips I could suggest to my clients is to dive into the system day one to become familiar with the software, and to take as many LearningChannel courses as possible. The ultimate goal of Implementation is for the client to leave the process self-reliant. It takes anywhere from 60 to 90 days to fully implement. The Implementation process consists of sitting with the client on a weekly basis and learning their current business structure and rules. I then take what I have learned and I work closely with the client to shape ServiceChannel to their needs. In the process we meet with various groups within the organization such as IT and Accounting to ensure we are staying within their guidelines. Once the business rules have been put into effect, we test the workflow to ensure WOs and Invoices follow protocol.

 

Helping people is in Pasquale’s nature. He loves getting clients to a point where they can provide a full demo without his assistance.

Paquale loves spending time with his family and manages to find time for work, family AND play. And, boy, does his play interests cover a wide territory. His enjoys exploring the mysteries of medieval history, working out at the gym, and running Spartan Races – the elite of obstacle course races that can range in distance from 3 to 12 miles with 20 to 30+ obstacles.

Contractor Initiated Work Order (CIWO) 

 “Winter is Coming” is not just a line from Game of Thrones

Winter weather ushers in an entire season of Facilities-related management responsibilities, including snow plowing, ice removal, and safety risk management.  With the warm months and HVAC busy season behind us, we look ahead to the challenges the cold weather brings, and talk about tools and solutions to ease this process. In this week’s blog, we will highlight a little known feature of ServiceChannel called CIWO: Contractor Initiated Work Orders.  Infact, CIWO is actually a smart phone app for contractors who work with SC clients, and was initially developed specifically to support the management of snow-event WOs.
