From “onboarding” and “document requests” to “virtual machine provisioning”, the portal empowers anyone to solve problems instantly while freeing IT and operations teams to focus on higher-priority tasks.

Benefits of using Callgoose SQIBS Self-Service Portal

  • Unified Automation Platform: Unlike fragmented solutions, Callgoose SQIBS brings automation, real-time incident management, shift roster, and a built-in on-call alerting system - all in one place.
  • Multilingual Communication: Instantly receive multilingual alerts and notifications via phone call, SMS, email, or integrations with Microsoft Teams and Slack. You get the flexibility businesses require in a global, distributed workforce.
  • Seamless Automation Integration: Run workflows using any tool or programming language there’s no lock-in. Easily build, run, and monitor automation right from within Callgoose SQIBS.
  • Effortless Workflow Launch: Create forms for end users to request automation, as easily as with (or easier than) ServiceNow or other competitors but without expensive add-ons, complex integrations, or developer bottlenecks.
  • Self-Service Without Complexity: Everything is centralized. You don’t need several tools to manage automation, self-service, incident alerts, and on-call coordination Callgoose SQIBS does it all.
  • Superior Security Controls : Unlike many alternatives, the portal supports public and private access, token authentication, SSO (Google, Microsoft, SAML 2.0), and department-level tokens. This granular control keeps each workflow locked down to authorized users.
  • Cost and Skill Efficiency :
  • No steep learning curve or pricey certifications unlike ServiceNow’s developer-centric model or other competitors, making it accessible to users with basic IT knowledge.

Unmatched Security: Industry-Leading Features
Our security-first approach gives you complete control, Unlike most platforms, SQIBS offers truly flexible access options:

  • Public Access: For widely used services, publish a secure public portal no user account required. Anyone with the link can access it, ideal for public-facing workflows.
  • Private Access: Restrict access to verified users using:
    • Token-based authentication
    • SSO (Google, Microsoft, SAML 2.0)
    • Department-level tokens for advanced internal controls

Callgoose SQIBS Self-Service Portal goes beyond typical offerings: Even after login, departments can impose additional privilege tokens before sensitive forms or automations launch. For example, only authorized HR team members (with their unique department token) can trigger onboarding; Other department cannot access HR flows. This level of layered security is unmatched in competitor platforms, where authentication is usually one-size-fits-all and departmental boundaries are hard to enforce.

Callgoose vs. ServiceNow (and Others): A Direct Comparison

ServiceNow Limitations

  • No Public Self-Service Pages: Every user must have an account; there’s no concept of a public workflow.
  • Basic Workflow Security: While ServiceNow lets you restrict forms, department-level, token-based security is not built-in for self-service forms; customizing such logic is difficult and expensive.
  • Developer Skill Barrier: Building ServiceNow forms typically requires training or even certification (such as ServiceNow’s "Citizen Developer" program). It's costly for businesses to find and hire skilled experts.
  • Integrations: While ServiceNow can integrate with automation tools (e.g., Ansible Automation Plaform for backend workflows), this requires considerable effort and expertise.

Callgoose SQIBS Breakthroughs

  • Instantly create, publish, and secure self-service forms or portals public or private without deep technical skills.
  • Apply multi-layered, department-level security with a few clicks.
  • Use any automation tool or program, not just what the platform supports.

  • Drastically lower cost and speed to deploy no need for highly trained (and expensive) developers; anyone with general IT knowledge can build powerful portals.

  • Cost and Skill Efficiency - No steep learning curve or pricey certifications unlike ServiceNow’s developer-centric model or other competitors, making it accessible to users with basic IT knowledge.

Use Case Scenarios

  • HR — “Onboard New Employee” form triggers account creation, equipment ordering, and onboarding workflow. Only HR can access.
  • IT — “Password Reset” form runs automated reset logic; restricted to internal users.
  • DevOps — “Request VM” workflow for provisioning; locked with token so only authorized teams use it.
