Solution Overview

Problem

Service management organizations face inefficiencies in processing and converting diverse incident reports from multiple client platforms with different configurations, requiring manual intervention and separate systems, which wastes computing resources and complicates feedback provision.

Innovation Solution

A multi-platform service management system that maintains a client mapping data structure to convert client-specific incident reports into management reports, processes them to generate service information, and converts this information back into client-specific reports, enabling universal operation across various platforms with reduced resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual intervention is used to process and convert diverse incident reports from multiple client platforms, then processing accuracy can be maintained, but computing resources are wasted and processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

In some implementations, a system may receive, from a client platform, a first report associated with an incident involving a client device that is associated with the client platform. The system may identify, in a mapping, a first management parameter that is mapped to a first client parameter. The system may generate a second report that includes an incident value in association with the management parameter. The system may process the second report to obtain service information associated with the incident. The system may generate a third report that includes the service information, wherein the service information is associated with a second management parameter. The system may identify, based on the mapping, a second client parameter that is mapped to the second management parameter. The system may generate a fourth report that includes the service information in association with the client parameter.
