    Customer Service Problem Management (CSPM) offers a step-by-step process to address customer issues. The process starts with verifying the customer's problem as defined in the service problem case. The system then automatically suggests relevant diagnostic tests to check the service quality and troubleshoot the problem effectively. After identifying the root cause, the application helps generate a repair task based on the test outcomes, leading to a successful resolution. This streamlined process simplifies problem solving for customer service agents, enabling faster resolution and improved efficiency, which in turn enhances customer satisfaction.

    If customers experience an issue with their internet service, they can report it to create a case for resolution. The case is then routed to the CSPM application, which analyzes the issue and suggests the relevant diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. The system then assigns the case to an agent who runs these tests and examines the results. Based on the findings, the agent takes necessary actions to fix the problem and restore the internet service for the customer.
