Product IT SERVICE MANAGEMENT

Keep critical operations moving.

Manage incidents, changes, work orders and service commitments through connected workflows that improve visibility, accountability and response.

Incident Manager and Change Manager run as connected modules of one workflow engine, not unrelated tools bolted together.

IT Service Management
Business Challenge

Incidents and changes, tracked apart.

Incidents logged inconsistently

Some incidents arrive through fault-management systems, others by phone or email — without one funnel, priority and ownership get lost.

Changes go out without visibility

Change requests move ahead without a clear view of which configuration items they touch, until something breaks.

SLAs tracked after the fact

Without a built-in SLA function, workgroup performance against commitments gets reconstructed later instead of watched live.

Product Solution

One engine for incidents and change.

Incident Manager and Change Manager run as connected modules of one IT Service Management workflow engine rather than unrelated tools. Incident Manager manages the full incident lifecycle with configuration-item (CI) assignment and a built-in SLA function; Change Manager governs change requests through initiation, CI impact assessment, CAB review and approval, implementation and post-implementation verification.

Key Capabilities

  • Incident detection — automated (fault-management integration) or manual logging
  • Priority-based incident logging & workgroup assignment
  • CI assignment from a CMDB, built from inventory sync or network discovery
  • Built-in SLA function for workgroup performance
  • Change request initiation via API or guided wizard
  • CI impact assessment for planned changes
How It Works

One workflow engine, two connected lifecycles.

01

Detect & log

Incidents arrive via fault-management integration or manual logging, prioritized and assigned to a workgroup.

02

Assign CI

Configuration items are assigned from a CMDB built via inventory sync or network discovery.

03

Resolve within SLA

The built-in SLA function tracks workgroup performance against commitments in real time.

04

Request change

Change requests are initiated via API or a guided wizard and assessed for CI impact.

05

Review & verify

CAB reviews and approves; the change is implemented and verified post-implementation.

Business Benefits

What changes when service operations are connected.

Fewer Incidents Missed

One funnel for automated and manual incident logging, prioritized and routed by workgroup.

Change Risk Visible Early

CI impact assessment surfaces risk before a change reaches the CAB, not after it ships.

SLA Performance in Real Time

Built-in SLA tracking replaces after-the-fact reporting on workgroup commitments.

One Workflow Engine

Incident and change management share configuration data instead of running as disconnected tools.

Integrations

Works with what you already run.

Fault-Management Systems

Automated incident detection can be fed directly from existing fault-management integrations.

CMDB / Inventory Sync

Configuration items populate from inventory sync or network discovery rather than manual entry.

Digital Asset Management

Shares asset and configuration-item context with Fountain’s DAM platform.
