Escalation Process
In the process of supporting an organization?s customers and business it is sometimes necessary or productive to have several levels of support, each handling a higher degree of complexity in end-user issues. Once the lowest tier of trained personnel reaches an impasse in resolving a user?s problem, the support ticket is escalated to the next tier of support. Escalation can also involve notifying management of issues,?problems?or?requests?from critical customers, or when a ticket warrants that notification for any other reason.
