ITOM Mobile Agent workflow
This sample workflow shows how ITOM Mobile Agent helps you manage services and the teams assigned to them:
- Monitoring tools generate critical alerts when they detect issues, and the ITOM Mobile Agent system sends mobile alert notifications to on-call responders.
- As an on-call SRM responder, you acknowledge, reassign, or close the alerts. If needed, you create incidents from the alerts, and then the ITOM Mobile Agent system assigns them to the appropriate team.
- You troubleshoot and collaborate on incidents, escalating them to major incidents when necessary, and then resolve and close the incidents, providing relevant details as needed.
- As an SRM manager, you adjust shifts, approve time-off requests, and resolve scheduling gaps for the on-call responders. Use dashboards to view alert trends, incident resolution times, and team performance.
