The mission of the Incident Management process is to resolve incidents as quickly as possible in a prioritized fashion. Incidents typically represent service disruptions for users. The problem management process focuses on determining the root cause of a problem to minimize the number of incidents an organization has to handle. and on using the change management process to correct the root cause. Remedy Service Desk provides a single point of contact for user requests, user submitted incidents, and infrastructure-generated incidents.
