Training in ITIL Foundations, so that those involved in the management of the process, have a basic knowledge of these ITIL® Practices.

Evaluation, an information survey will be carried out to analyze the degree of maturity of the incident process as a baseline. This will allow contrasting it with the best ITIL® 2011 practice, identifying the gaps with respect to the objective. Results report and Roadmap will be delivered with actions to close gaps, as well as strategic, tactical and operational recommendations, including the identification and execution of early victories, that allow our clients to improve some of the activities of the process quickly.

Accompaniment, is to guide the client on the actions, identified in the Road Map, which must be executed to close the gaps. This ends with the execution of early victories and functional specifications for the automation of the Incident Management Process.
