The incident management module of theGuard! ServiceDesk contains all the features needed in a help desk solution such as problem assessment, solution of these problems, escalation, and a knowledge base. Incident management features that are required or beneficial for the elimination of an interruption or a problem are offered in the respective context. Typically these are:
- status information from the system and network management
- inventory data on devices and systems
- asset data that can, for example, also be imported from SAP
The incident management module can be expanded by adding the problem management and the change management module.
All features are offered through a clearly structured Web interface. If additional products of theGuard! ServiceDesk are used, their features will be included into the same interface in keeping with the respective authorizations or roles of the users.
This approach has many benefits, among them:
- high levels of user acceptance
- features are available at any time and at any place (without any specific system requirements)
- short training period
External users will use the same Web interface, but will only have access to limited functionality. One strength of theGuard! ServiceDesk is its enormous flexibility when it comes to customizing its graphical appearance.
