9 Service Skill Management Learning and skill enhancement is a continuous activity in every IT organization today. As IT analysts retool themselves in the new skills, they can update their details in the skill management system. These skills not only are tracked for the analysts but can also help organization find the required skill-set when needed.

Service Assist Think of a failure of a system at the middle of the night when the main workforce that engages in the system is off duty. The only person available during the shift is a newly hired executive providing L1 support. While operations intelligence provides him with the help needed to restart the service, he might not have the required permissions to do so, and may need to call the SME, who may not be available on call. But with Real Time intelligence, the L1 skill level person can easily be augmented with the skills and permissions needed by an SME to execute and resolve specific tasks. This can lead to quick first call resolution. UB s legacy system faced manpower, configuration, standardization and interface issues that were eliminated by Symphony SUMMIT.
