Incident management made simple: fast and easy standard with EcholoN
In a complex technical environment, disruptions cannot be completely ruled out. However, it is important that companies address faults and problems quickly and in a structured manner. EcholoN's efficient incident management optimally supports your service desk staff: even before the first direct contact, an automated contact identification takes place. In the further course, templates guarantee a structured, flexible and secure workflow.
And afterwards, data-based analyses of costs and services can be created at the touch of a button. A variety of ready-made reports for incident management are available for this purpose. You can also create your own reports to determine specific KPIs. In this way, you can objectively assess the performance of your support team and prove it to internal and external customers.
The process-oriented workflow ensures maximum transparency and structure in the area of incident management. It facilitates the resolution, follow-up and documentation of incidents of all kinds. In the end, everyone involved benefits from this: the staff at the service desk, who are relieved of time, as well as the customers, whose requests are processed and answered quickly, competently and reliably.
Example process from Incident Management
