Sample use case - unresponsive device recovery
At Calbro Systems, engineers discover fifteen unresponsive devices twice a day at random times. Each time the problem occurs, one level-2 engineer fixes the issue in five minutes, and spends another five minutes updating and closing the incident ticket. This problem has been ongoing for nine months. Because this a low priority, the problem will continue until the devices are replaced the following year.
