Incident escalation: Functional escalation

HPE Service Manager includes pre-defined workflows reflecting HPE's best practices based on ITIL 2011 guidance. These best practices come from HPE's professional services organization and are developed through working with some of the HPE's primary partner companies.

By default, Incidents are assigned to the service desk for acceptance as an Incident and assignment to the appropriate group.

Based on customer process requirements, assignment can be automated. Service Manager can be configured to automatically define record assignment based on values in any of the Incident record fields.

For example, escalations can be defined in the category record associated with an incident record or in SLAs that are applied to the record. Escalations include notifications and alerts (as the record passes through escalation levels). Service Manager can send alerts to different users, managers, and IT staff as the record is escalated.

SRC Support Catalog also allows automatic opening and routing of Incident records based on pre-defined categories and items.
