ASM manages the full incident lifecycle—from initial logging to investigation, resolution, and closure—helping service teams maintain control and meet service expectations. With intelligent automation, real-time tracking, and seamless integration across ITSM processes, your team can focus on restoring service instead of chasing updates or handling repetitive tasks manually.

Why incident management matters

Without structured incident handling, service teams struggle with delays, inconsistent processes, and growing backlogs. ASM eliminates these bottlenecks with features that enforce best practices, streamline communication, and improve collaboration between service desk analysts and users.

Incidents can be logged via the Core UI or self-service portal, then automatically categorized, prioritized, and routed based on predefined rules. SLA timers track progress from the moment an issue is raised, and escalation workflows alert the right people before service targets are breached.

Common questions

Incident management FAQs

What is Incident Management in ITSM?

Incident Management is a key IT service management (ITSM) process that aims to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible after a disruption. Its goal is to minimize the impact of incidents on business operations and ensure the highest possible availability of services.

How does Alemba Service Manager help with Incident Management?

Alemba Service Manager provides a user-friendly interface to log, categorize, and track incidents. It includes automation tools for assignment and SLA monitoring, integrates with a knowledge base for faster resolution, and offers a self-service portal for end users.

Can users track their incidents after submitting them?

Yes, users can track the status of their incident tickets through the Alemba Self-Service Portal. They can view progress updates, see who is handling their case, and check resolution timelines.

What is the difference between an Incident and a Problem in ITSM?

An incident is a single unplanned interruption or reduction in the quality of an IT service. A problem is the underlying cause of one or more incidents. Incident Management restores service quickly, while Problem Management focuses on root cause analysis and long-term fixes. In ASM, it's possible to link Incidents and Problems, or clone Incidents to Problems and vice-versa.
