We were thrilled to see so many smiling faces for our Executive Series kick off event, Transform your ways of working to achieve the outcomes you want.
The February 13th /14th events in Sydney and Melbourne attracted attendees from some of Australia’s top companies who were ready to meet, mingle and learn about using AI within Service Management. Rob Castaneda, CEO, ServiceRocket, was delighted to greet them.
As attendees enjoyed Vittoria coffee Rob told the story of ServiceRocket (“Toongabbie’s largest and most successful software company”) and another Aussie start up (Atlassian) whose rich partnership began 20+ years ago.
Located just blocks from each other, the company’s founders shared a common vision: make useful technology that reduces complexity and stress.
That quickly led to a string of notable firsts: ServiceRocket servicing Atlassian’s first customers, building its first training program as well as signing its partner agreement, among others. “Our businesses have always been deeply connected,” noted Rob.
Next Mark Edwards, Principal, Partner Technical Architect ITSM APAC, Atlassian, presented An Atlassian approach to ESM; a roadmap for the future. He posed a timely question to the audience:
If you could wave a magic wand to reduce the burden on your team, whether it be IT, HR or…, what would you choose to do?
That wish is answered with the recent launch of Atlassian Intelligence, which brings AI innovations to Jira Service Management.
Atlassian Intelligence unlocks answers via a virtual agent, delivering instant ‘always on’ support (now available in JSM). It also provides AI answers which draw on user knowledge in JSM or Confluence (currently in beta).
By accelerating time-consuming tasks, the tool frees up time to focus on high value work; it also enables teams—particularly non-technical teams—to begin new service projects more quickly.
Mark also explained how Atlassian’s recent acquisition of AirTrack fits into the Atlassian ecosystem (“It all starts and ends with ACCURATE DATA.”)
The next speaker, Danielle Owen Whitford, Founder and CEO, of Pioneera, raised the room’s energy with a group power pose; she then walked attendees through three steps that maximize tech adoption success.
Those steps:

Following Sydney, Rob and Danielle were joined in Melbourne by Aradhana Arora, Principal, Partner Solutions Strategist ITSM, APAC, Atlassian, who presented An Atlassian approach to ESM; a roadmap for the future.
Each event concluded with a longstanding ServiceRocket tradition of stringed-instrument giveaways (most famously a brand-new Fender Stratocaster® at Atlassian Team) with a ukulele raffle in both venues as well as an Apple Airpods Pro giveaway.
