TeamDynamix (TDX), a comprehensive ticketing system, will replace Cherwell, the University of Missouri’s current service management platform, in early 2025 to better meet the expanding service management needs of the ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ. Divisions and departments who currently use Cherwell as a ticketing portal, incident and/or request management solution are projected to migrate to TeamDynamix by the end of 2025.

TeamDynamix Selection Process (Background)

In Spring 2023, the Division of IT Enterprise Service Management team collaborated with a steering committee representing campuses in the UM System and MU Health Care to assess alternative ticketing solutions. The goal was to replace Cherwell, the current service management platform, with a system that would meet both current and future needs. After thorough research and feedback, the committee chose TeamDynamix as the new, comprehensive ticketing system.
