Echelon for CSM

CSM built & maintained
on autopilot.

Echelon’s AI agent builds the cases, record producers, playbooks, and integrations and keeps it all healthy — across the full SDLC, in your instance, with every change tracked.
Need to migrate from customized CSM to out-of-the-box — Echelon can do that too in weeks, not months.

Migrate

Years of custom CSM, moved to
out-of-the-box in weeks.

Heavily customized, homegrown CSM is the hardest thing to modernize — and the most expensive to quote. Echelon reads your legacy case model, maps it to the out-of-the-box standard, and rebuilds it across the full SDLC: design, solutioning, build, test, and documentation. What partners quote in months, Echelon does in weeks.

Audit

Every gap in your CSM setup, surfaced in one session.

Echelon reads your live Agent Workspace, case model, record producers, routing rules, and Now Assist config — and shows what’s configured, what’s broken, and what’s underused. No sampling, no discovery workshops.

Integrate

Connect CSM to the systems around it. Spoke or custom — built and verified.

After the core build, integration is where timelines stall. Echelon checks for a prebuilt ServiceNow spoke, and if none fits, designs a custom integration — presenting the trade-offs and building the flow end to end, from CRM case sync to telephony to content systems.

Now Assist

Now Assist is in your contract. Echelon puts it to work.

Most teams license Now Assist / NAVA but never activate it because the sn_aia_* and sys_gen_ai_*config layers are unfamiliar. Echelon audits what’s configured, fills the gaps, and activates skills with full traceability.

On Autopilot

Your CSM shouldn’t drift. Keep it configured, monitored, and current.

As teams change and volumes shift, routing rules break silently and templates drift. Echelon continuously checks configuration health — assignment rules, inbound actions, SLA wiring — and fixes what breaks.
