  1. Efficient Incident Management:
  • Automatic routing to teams responsible for specific applications
  • Reduced manual intervention in incident assignment
  • Faster response times through targeted assignments
  1. Better Resource Utilization:
  • Matches incidents with teams having the right expertise
  • Aligns with organizational structure and responsibilities
  • Prevents assignment to wrong teams
  1. Improved Accountability:
  • Clear ownership based on application/resource groups
  • Better tracking of team performance
  • Easier management of SLAs
  1. Operational Benefits:
  • Reduced mean time to resolve (MTTR)
  • More accurate first-time assignments
  • Better workload distribution among teams
