Incident Management Ticket Flow Tier 1 / Service Desk When a call comes in a specialist logs the ticket into the GXS incident tracking system, collects all necessary information, and attempts to resolve and close the call Emails to Production Services are automatically translated into a ticket and entered into the incident tracking system. An automated email reply acknowledging receipt is returned to the sender. This email contains ticket tracking information as well as information on when follow up will occur Note: If reporting a major issue the email must be accompanied by a telephone call If an incident cannot be addressed by Tier 1 the specialist immediately escalates it to Tier 2 Tier 2 / Backbone Tier 2 (Technical Support) prioritises incidents according to the nature and the severity level.
