About

CenClear provides early childhood education, mental health services, and substance use disorder treatment to children, adults, and families. Its IT team supports multiple locations and remote and mobile employees across numerous counties. The team manages thousands of technology assets alongside Microsoft 365, clinical applications, and electronic health records.

The challenge

Requests arrived everywhere

Email, phone calls, and direct conversations with IT staff made support difficult to track centrally.

Ownership was hard to see

Across locations and programs, IT needed clearer responsibility and prioritization for each request.

Individual inboxes held the context

Requests needed to remain visible and actionable regardless of which IT employee received them.

Service needed measurement

The team wanted a consistent record from initial contact through resolution.

The implementation

Workflows matched existing processes

The team configured categorization, routing, prioritization, assignment, and automation around different request types.

A straightforward rollout

IT found HappyFox relatively easy to learn and refined its configuration as needs evolved.

Support reached staff in Teams

Employees contact IT through email, phone, the Support Center, and Microsoft Teams, their primary communication platform.

Reporting supported daily oversight

Leadership uses ticket activity, aging, and workload information to identify backlogs and unresolved requests.

Results and benefits.

953 tickets per month

The IT team handles an average of 953 monthly tickets in one centralized platform.

Clearer leadership visibility

Managers can review volume, aging tickets, individual workloads, and outstanding issues to decide where to intervene.

Troubleshooting became reusable

Previous tickets preserve resolutions and help the team identify recurring technology problems.

A measurable service model

IT increasingly focuses on first-response time, resolution time, open-ticket aging, and volume by category.
