Using Workarounds for known errors, helpdesk Technicians and Customers can be immediately assisted to keep people working while a complete resolution is identified and applied. Automatic Notification of all affected users when problems are resolved or when workarounds are available reduces the impact on the business. Similarly, immediate closure of associated incidents when problems are resolved saves time and resources.
