Incident Management in HaloITSM (ITIL 4)
What is incident management?
Incident management is the process of responding to unplanned service interruptions and restoring service to its operational state as quickly as possible with minimal business disruption. That’s the core ITIL objective. Atlassian BMC Documentation
Why teams choose HaloITSM for incidents
Fast intake & assignment
Capture incidents via email, portal, chat and APIs; route by category, priority and ownership with automation.
AI assist where it matters
Use Halo’s Service Automation Framework to standardize service definitions across processes then automate triage, SLAs and hand-offs end-to-end. HALO
Microsoft Teams inside the workflow
Notify channels, chat with users/agents and even embed the self-service portal in Teams to reduce context-switching. HALO
SLA-driven execution
Clock response/resolution targets by priority, visualize breaches and escalate before deadlines hit.
Knowledge-powered resolution
Convert fixes to knowledge, surface suggestions to agents/requesters, and reduce L1 load over time. HALO
CMDB & relationships
