Chris Fenton – Senior Technical Consultant

by Nicole Bailey

Chris is a highly experienced System Architect with 6 years’ experience in ServiceNow development and 11 years in IT. He joins the CASE team (Customer advisory and Support by Enable) as a Senior Technical Consultant working with Ian White, the Head of CASE supporting our customers in Sydney and beyond.

As a curious kid, he starts coding at 10, developing his skills to making websites and eventually writing some poker software before his ServiceNow career began.

His experience spans the full spectrum of IT and ServiceNow functions including:

3rd line IT Support
Consultant at TESM
System Architect
ServiceNow lead at Ladbrokes Coral and Clifford Chance
ServiceNow Tech consultant at Barclays Bank

Chris joined Enable by pure coincidence. After making the life-changing decision to leave the UK and start a new life in Australia he turned down an opportunity to work in the UK, the curious Recruiter asking why only to learn Chris was keen on moving to Australian shores. As opportunity would have it, the recruiter knew of a growing ServiceNow Partner based in Australia and the rest is history.

Chris is inspired by the Steve Jobs quote “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

He is most proud of winning CreatorCon in the UK while working with TESM and on the weekends you will find Chris attempting to surf, running, volleyball, poker and of course exploring Australia with weekend road trips!

Engagement Messenger for CSM in Quebec Release

March 3, 2021March 18, 2021
by Nicole Bailey

The customer service portal that comes out of the box with ServiceNow Customer Service Management (CSM) is great as it is; it is a feature-packed engagement portal ready for use by any customer who implements ServiceNow CSM.

However, during a number of our recent implementations, we have noticed that several organisations have an existing portal that is embedded with their teams and customers, and integrated with their systems. We have noticed there is very little appetite to fully replace this (portal) and migrate into ServiceNow. This often leads to challenges in keeping a seamless customer experience, like initiating ServiceNow chat or perhaps raising a new case while outside of the ServiceNow Customer Service Portal. To solve this, customers looked at other options like doing a URL redirection, building custom APIs or dare I say it… iFrames!

Introducing Engagement Messenger

Engagement Messenger, which came out in the Quebec release is something to be excited about. Engagement Messenger seamlessly extends the ServiceNow customer self-service experience to third-party portals.

- Provides an in-context experience on existing websites or mobile websites for customers to access services.
- Allows the integration of customer support capabilities via no or low code configuration.
- And goes beyond single widgets to provide a pre-packaged set of capabilities, empowering customers to resolve issues faster.

This means that ServiceNow customers can now manage the end-to-end user self-service experience in one central location (ServiceNow), and deploy that experience where it’s most convenient for their end-customers.

Are you interested in taking full advantage of these and other features available in the Quebec release? Enable Professional Services can help with our Fast Track Upgrade Package.

For 10k, Enable can get you to Quebec FAST through Enable’s Fast Track Upgrade Package.
