Selwyn District Council: Improving task management with Azure and Microsoft 365 Calendar

Selwyn District Council, the governing body for an area of rural New Zealand, adopted Freshservice to better manage IT requests from employees who played critical roles in running the district. In a custom design of Freshservice, a self-service employee portal reduced inbound email requests, and a dashboard provided the digital services team with greater visibility on the status of those email requests and other ongoing projects.

Services for the district are running smoothly behind the scenes, and integrations with Azure and Microsoft 365 Calendar have further improved productivity and task management.

With Azure and Microsoft 365 Calendar together, IT agents sync their tasks, meetings, and other important events in a single place. As a result, agents can prioritize urgent issues, track meetings, and manage tasks more effectively—all of which contribute to better support for employees and a streamlined experience for everyone involved.
