TeamDynamix (TDX), a comprehensive ticketing system, will replace Cherwell, the University of èßäapp’s current service management platform, in early 2025 to better meet the expanding service management needs of the University of èßäapp System. Divisions and departments who currently use Cherwell as a ticketing portal, incident and/or request management solution are projected to migrate to TeamDynamix by the end of 2025.

TeamDynamix Selection Process (Background)

In Spring 2023, the Division of IT Enterprise Service Management team collaborated with a steering committee representing campuses in the èßäappSystem and MU Health Care to assess alternative ticketing solutions. The goal was to replace Cherwell, the current service management platform, with a system that would meet both current and future needs. After thorough research and feedback, the committee chose TeamDynamix as the new, comprehensive ticketing system.

Benefits of TeamDynamix

1. Higher Education Focus
   TDX is focused on Higher Education. A significant number of SEC and other peer institutions, including those with multiple campuses, have moved to TDX in recent years.
2. Separate Applications per Campus
   TDX enables customized applications for each campus or business unit, offering users autonomy to meet their specific needs.
3. Codeless Development
   One of the key advantages to working in a codeless environment is that our campus and/or business units get to spend time working on the initiatives that matter to them. TDX allows our teams to seamlessly deliver upgrades and reduce wait times for changes requested by users.
4. Robust Service Catalog Features
   User friendly service catalog search capabilities and the ability to bookmark services you use routinely.
5. Unlimited Licensing
   TDX uses an unlimited licensing model.
