AUTOMATED TICKETING SYSTEMS

Alerts land in monitoring consoles and wait for a human to notice, interpret and re-type them into tickets. Context is lost, priorities are guessed, and minutes become hours.

Business Question

"Why are my engineers copy-pasting alert details into tickets in 2026 — and why does every ticket start with 'investigating' instead of the answer?"

What SPoG Does

  • Converts qualified alerts into tickets automatically, with device, service, customer and probable cause prefilled.
  • Sets priority and routing from real service impact rather than guesswork.
  • Suppresses duplicate and downstream alerts so one fault creates one ticket.
