Every incident had a ticket. The same ones kept coming back.

What they asked for

"Give us ServiceNow so we can finally log and track our IT incidents properly."

Tracking wasn't the problem; recurrence was. Incidents were closed but never linked to a root cause, so the same outages returned and majors ran on a manual bridge.

The challenge

The service desk logged thousands of incidents a month. Tickets were captured and closed on time and the metrics looked healthy. Yet the same outages kept returning and major incidents dragged.

Closed, never solved. Incidents were resolved one by one; nothing linked recurring incidents to a common root cause, so problem management never happened.

Major incidents run by hand. A P1 meant manually spinning up a bridge, paging people and chasing updates; coordination lived in chat and memory.

Routine tickets swamped the desk. Password resets and how-do-I questions consumed analysts who should have been fixing the hard problems.

What we built

Route it right. ServiceNow ITSM with intelligent incident routing, so incidents reach the right team first time instead of bouncing between queues.

Find the root cause. Recurring incidents linked to problem management, so repeat issues are traced to a single root cause and fixed for good rather than closed and forgotten.

Run majors, deflect the rest. A major-incident workflow coordinates P1s automatically (bridge, roles, comms) while a virtual agent and knowledge base push routine requests to self-service.

The win wasn't faster tickets. It was incidents that stopped coming back.
