Incident Management

What is Remedy?

REMEDY is a customer relationship tool which can be used to log / monitor the issues or problems faced by customers by the means of incident management tickets. Each ticket is like an incident (problem) which is created by helpdesk and assigned to relevant support team. Concerned support team member take the ownership of the ticket and updates the work log (troubleshooting steps performed during the course of action) Also , it can be used to monitor Service Requests / change management ( Change Requests) and problem management. It’s developed by BMC software
