What is Incident Management?

Structured approach to restoring normal service quickly

Incident Management is the process of detecting, responding to, and resolving unplanned interruptions or reductions in IT service quality. The primary goal is restoring normal service operation as quickly as possible while minimizing business impact.

Effective incident management requires clear processes, defined roles, and proper tooling. From initial detection through resolution and post-incident review, every step must be coordinated and documented to ensure consistent, rapid response.

Our approach follows ITIL best practices while adapting to your organization's specific needs. We categorize incidents by impact and urgency, apply appropriate resources, communicate proactively with stakeholders, and conduct thorough post-incident reviews to prevent recurrence.
