IncidentMonitor™ Problem Management Software

Problem Management Objective according to ITIL® Service Operation – SO 4.4.1. To prevent problems and resulting incidents from happening, to eliminate recurring incidents, and to minimize the impact of incidents that cannot be prevented.

IncidentMonitor™ Problem Management

IncidentMonitor™ Problem Management is one of the processes along with Incident Management and Change Management which our customers usually implemented  first.  

• Problem Management provides proactive IT management.
• Provides all functionality and reporting to ensure that you can minimize the effect of infrastructure issues.
• Easily integrated with any monitoring tool. When an event occurs, a problem request can be created automatically and assigned to the appropriate group or individual to resolve the issue before the user community is impacted.
• SLAs and OLAs are defined within Problem Management to ensure that the problem is addressed and resolved within an acceptable timeframe. Any breach to OLAs and SLAs can be immediately addressed when the problem is escalated to the appropriate resource or group.
• Reports are provided out of the box which will allow you to analyze problem data and improve the performance of problem management.
• Problem Management is fully integrated to all other ITIL process. Problems can be easily linked to Incidents and Changes with bi-directional communication between Problem and the other ITIL processes.
• Configuration Items (CIs) can be linked to a problem and impact analysis can be performed on the CI as it related to the linked problem.

Because Problem Management is developed on the robust IncidentMonitor™ framework, the problem management process can be easily adapted to support your specific requirements.
