Ivanti Cherwell Convergence

The long lost prodigal son has returned. That’s right. Cherwell, the Frontrange (HEAT) spin-off.

For Cherwell Customers, Shift-Left is the focus. No Surprise here. Ivanti is an IT power house. 78 of Fortune 100 are using Ivanti.

The goal is to take the best out of Cherwell and converge it into Ivanti. No surprise here. You could look at Cherwell as a Frontrange HEAT development branch.

The exciting part for Ivanti Customers, from a functional and technical perspective:

No-code builder for expressions (already possible now, will be improved)
Expanded API capability
Enhanced expression capabilities
Advanced workflows – interactivity, improved integration scenarios, navigation, branching logic
Variables
Modifiers, manipulate data without requiring code
Delegation of Approvals (already possible now, ask me how, will be improved)
Trusted Agent – access to private network resources without requiring a VPN
Better incoming email parsing and actions
Localization Workbench
All LoB (Line of Business) Content and Custom Content Maps available

2022 indeed will be super exciting and expect to see some of these changes in the first half of 2022 with a goal to complete convergence and upgrades by the end of 2022.

ivanti service manager ISM code freeze release calendar brownout

What is ISM Brownout?

Code Freeze, aka Brownout, is a point in time in the development process after which any and all configuration changes must be coordinated with the lead consultant to mitigate risk of conflicting changes and new defects.

The term comes from Electricity “brownouts”, a partial, temporary reduction in total system capacity, which results in the dimming experienced by incandescent lighting when the voltage sags

A best practice is to create an ISM Announcement, Alert, and Notification for ISM Administrators, as well as change the logo of your STG DEV tenant, as well as change the PROD logo for the Administrator, Admin Level 2, and Validation List Manager roles. (Not familiar with Admin L2 and Validation List Manager? Contact me for details.)

Ivanti Service Manager Upgrades

Before you consider upgrading your on premise Ivanti Service Manager (ISM) and/or Ivanti Asset Manager (IAM) you should consider the What’s New Releases, the Ivanti Release Schedule, Steps Involved, and Impact to your Service Desk Implementation.

For example if you are upgrading from the HEAT Classic Ticketing System then the changes and impact to your organization, business processes, and day to day operations, is substantial versus just a minor release upgrade.

Of course if you’re using SaaS (Software as a Service) hosted by Ivanti then you are privy to the most current version and should review the What’s New information and Ivanti Cloud Calendar for regression testing, training, and identifying a communication plan.

Here is a quick summary of the latest Ivanti Service Manager (ISM) and Ivanti Asset Manager (ISM) Releases. This is my personal cheat sheet.
