Global support agents, internal operations teams, and 500k+ European- based small or micro-business owners seeking technical support or sales inquiries.

Overview

 Previously, three distinct international brands operated on siloed legacy systems, leading to fragmented data and inconsistent customer support. I was brought in to architect a unified Jira Service Management (JSM) ecosystem that would centralize operations while maintaining distinct brand identities and meeting strict EU data residency requirements. 

Problem statement

 The organization suffered from "Logic Debt": manual ticket routing, lack of cross-brand visibility for leadership, and an inability to track SLAs accurately across different regions. We needed a scalable, automated system that could handle high-volume external support without increasing headcount. 

Objectives

  • Centralize Governance: Create a single source of truth for support data across all European brands.
  • Automate Orchestration: Reduce manual agent touches by 40% through intelligent routing and self-service.
  • Ensure Compliance: Implement a "Privacy by Design" architecture to satisfy GDPR and brand-specific security protocols.

Technical Research & Discovery

  • Schema Audit: Analyzed existing workflows to identify redundant custom fields and status bottlenecks across legacy tools.
  • Stakeholder Mapping: Conducted deep-dives with Brand Leads to define "Non-Negotiable" requirements versus standardized global processes.
  • API Feasibility: Investigated API-led integrations for syncing customer data from proprietary CRMs into Jira user properties.

Architectural Prototyping

  • Workflow Engineering: Designed a modular workflow schema in JSM that allowed for brand-specific "branching" while maintaining a unified global reporting layer.
  • Automation Logic: Built complex Automation for Jira rules to handle regional routing, priority escalations, and, since then, automated "Rovo" style responses for common tier-1 queries.
  • Data Pipeline: Prototyped the connection between the JSM portal and Atlassian Analytics/Grafana/Tableau to ensure real-time visibility into global performance metrics.

Delivery

The first release focused on one sub brand, operating primarily in the German Market, and acted as a pilot for the unified platform. We rolled out both the external customer-facing support portal and the internal agent workspace simultaneously, which required tight coordination across engineering, and regional support teams as this was the only approach possible due to legacy systems limitation.

Lessons Learned

Start Small, Scale Smart
Breaking the project into smaller launches by sub brand allowed us to test, learn, and refine the approach before scaling. Each launch went smoother than the previous due to our aquired experience.
 

Localization Is More Than Translation
Regional differences went beyond language. Legal requirements, support expectations, and cultural nuances all shaped how we designed and delivered the support experience.


Internal User Experience Is Just as Critical as External UX
Improving the employee support platform directly impacted the speed and quality of customer service, reinforcing the importance of treating internal tools as real products.
