Why Use Jira

Integrate Vivantio with Jira to establish a seamless communication channel between service management and development teams. This integration ensures that all team members stay informed regardless of the tool they use daily, eliminating the need to switch between platforms. Customer requests fielded in Vivantio can directly create issues in Jira when needed. As updates occur in Jira, they are automatically fed back to Vivantio, ensuring customers receive timely updates.

Seamless Communication

Integration creates a seamless communication channel between service management and development teams, enabling them to work on the same issues without switching platforms.

Real Time Updates

Both teams receive real-time updates on issue status, comments, and changes, reducing the likelihood of miscommunication and ensuring everyone is on the same page.

• Automation — of routine tasks such as ticket creation and status updates reduces manual work and speeds up processes.
