How self-service digital workspaces cut IT tickets and boost employee power

The last thing IT teams need is more to do. Fielding endless requests for workspace adjustments, app access and bespoke setups is such a drain on time and resources. That’s where Ichicraft Boards comes in. It gives employees the ability to personalize their own digital environment without submitting an IT ticket. The result? Less grief for IT, more control for the user, and a workspace that works for them.

This is why IT departments love our self-service digital workspaces…

Fewer tickets, more time for what matters: When you give employees the tools to customize their own workspaces, IT isn’t bogged down with lots of small requests. Whether it’s responsive design layout adjustments or accessing the right widget, users can take matters into their own hands, which means less work for IT resulting in a quicker service for those critical work-stopping issues. It’s all about working smarter – not harder.

A balance between freedom and control: Letting go is hard, especially when it comes to security. That’s why with Ichicraft Boards you set the limits.

Security stays tight while employees get the digital workspace that works best for them (see below).

Standardized, yet personal: Keep core setups consistent with enforced templates, while allowing employees to tweak their interfaces for a personalized workspace that they enjoy using.

Faster onboarding, smoother transitions: Using our Board Templates means new hires get up and running in minutes, instead of days. There’s no manual setup needed and no IT delays. Instead, they get just instant access to the tools they need to do the job. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what the team manager at Red Bull’s corporate intranet has to say:

“There is no easier way to provide a fully customizable intranet start page. Ichicraft Boards is easy to use, easy to administrate, and includes everything you need to launch a successful and visually appealing intranet.”
