What is Incident Management?

Incident Management is the process responsible for managing the lifecycle of all incidents.

The purpose of Incident Management is to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible and minimize the adverse impact on business operations, ensuring that agreed levels of service are maintained.

  • Increase visibility and communication of incidents to business and IT support staff
  • Enhance user perception of IT Services through the use of a professional approach in quickly resolving and communicating incidents when they occur
