Process Flow
Process Flow - Identification
Anyone within OSF / ISD can request that a problem case be opened.
All initial information relative to problem will be logged, especially related incidents.
Before continuing the Service Desk will verify the related service having the issue and correlate it with an existing service and SLA.
After problem verification, the Service Desk will attempt to establish incident severity and impact which define priority.
12
Process Flow – Analyze & Resolve
Primary root cause analysis will be performed by the Service Provider Group.
As soon as the problem is clearly documented with identifying symptoms, a known error record will created within CRM so that if additional incidents occur, they can be tied to the existing problem.
Once the solution is determined, it should be implemented following the Change Management Process.
Once the solution is implemented and verified, the problem case may be closed.
