Put It All Together
Throughout this badge, you explored the powerful features of the Employee Services Portal. To understand how this new tool works, follow along as the employees at Orivian Global Holdings use the portal.
Orivian is a massive, diverse international conglomerate with operations spanning multiple industries. They rely on Agentforce IT Service to keep their workforce moving. But the IT needs of an online education developer are very different from those of a pharmaceutical researcher. Explore three distinct scenarios where the portal saves the day.
The EduTech Hardware Hazard
Orivian EduTech developers create incredible, industry-leading online learning platforms for institutions worldwide. They’re brilliant developers, but they’re notoriously hard on their hardware. From spilled coffee on keyboards to laptops dropped during transit, the EduTech team is always breaking things.
When an EduTech developer accidentally drops their assigned laptop and shatters the screen, they don’t panic. They simply log in to the Employee Services Portal and navigate to the My Assets view. They find their specific laptop in their personalized inventory dashboard and click the Report Issue button right on the asset card.
The portal instantly generates a prefilled incident ticket. The developer doesn’t have to squint to read a serial number off the bottom of the broken machine—a label that is typically tiny in size, but painfully long in alphanumerics. Because the system already knows exactly which device is broken, it links the data automatically and completely prevents manual errors. They type a quick note (“I dropped my laptop and the screen shattered!”), submit the ticket, and then track the replacement progress in real time via the My Tickets tab.
Big Budgets at BioSolutions
Over at Orivian BioSolutions, the team is dedicated to biotechnology and pharmaceutical research. They aren’t breaking hardware, but they do have an interest in the latest, greatest, and most expensive 3D modeling and simulation software.
A BioSolutions engineer realizes they need a new, highly specialized modeling software to run a complex simulation. Instead of emailing the IT department to request a license, they visit the Service Catalog. They use the Request New Software catalog template to enter the software name and type out a short business justification.
Because this software is incredibly expensive, the catalog’s automated fulfillment workflow instantly flags the request and routes it to the engineer's manager for approval. The manager receives an automated notification in Microsoft Teams, reviews the business justification, and approves it directly within their Teams app. The engineer is notified that their software is on the way—no messy email chains required!
The Great Equalizer
Whether you are a brilliant biotech researcher mapping the human genome or a seasoned Orivian EduTech developer coding the future of learning, every single employee at Orivian Global Holdings shares one universal truth: Eventually, everyone forgets a password or goofs up their password manager software.
In the past, password resets clogged up the IT help desk, forcing highly trained agents to spend hours resolving simple login errors. Now, when an Orivian executive forgets their login, they just open Slack and message the Agentforce Employee Agent.
They type, “I need a password reset.” The AI agent instantly verifies their identity, automatically executes the password reset workflow behind the scenes, and securely sends them a temporary password—all without a human IT agent ever having to touch a ticket.
Thanks to the Employee Services Portal, Orivian Global Holdings has transformed IT support from a frustrating bottleneck into a frictionless, consumer-grade experience.
Wrap It Up
In this badge, you learned how a unified portal empowers employees to take control of their IT needs. By combining the power of AI-generated knowledge, conversational agents, a unified service catalog, and centralized asset management, Agentforce IT Service ensures that employees spend less time hunting for help and more time doing what they do best. After all, just like skipping the morning rush at a self-serve coffee kiosk, the Employee Services Portal empowers you to bypass the waiting line and get exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.
