Sample document to users about the introduction of Problem Management
Dear          ,
Introduction of Problem Management to our school
We have decided to introduce Problem Management as a complimentary service to Incident Management. This will enable the technical support function to isolate recurring incidents and common errors and focus on solving them to prevent recurrence.

This service should enhance the approach the technicians use for finding out why problems occur and will enable the computer systems to continue working from fixes that are found. Training will be provided for the service desk single point of contact and the technicians, everyone else should log their calls in the usual way.

You should benefit from:
    • a reduction in the number of repeat incidents
    • faults found before they affect you, with resolutions implemented out of working hours
    • an agreed approach to handling any major incidents that may occur such as a virus outbreak.

You should continue to log calls using the incident sheet.

The new service is scheduled to start xxxxxx. More details will be given nearer the start date.
