Why Incident Management Is Important

When something goes wrong, team members must respond quickly and efficiently to restore service because the cost of an incident can be severe. According to a study by Gartner, the average cost of downtime is $5,600 per minute, which equates to over $300,000 per hour depending on your company’s size, vertical, and business model. To meet these expectations, you must have a reliable, predictable, and effective Incident Management process with the right technologies to support it. That’s where we come in.

Defining Your Incident Management

1. Detection

Let’s make sure proper monitoring and alerting to detect the incidents are in place so you know before customers your do.

2. Response

Once the team knows about the incident, we need to be sure everyone knows you're working on it. Let’s establish the channels of communication.

3. Recover

Time for the fix. Let’s make sure the proper teams are engaged and know their roles.

4. Learn

It’s great news that things are back online and though the emergency is over, let’s get accountability and knowledge documented.
