Platforms
Solutions define outcomes. Platforms enable execution.
Depending on your environment and goals, ITOM may be delivered using:
Move from alert overload to operational clarity.
Having monitoring tools isn't enough if alerts are noisy, root cause takes too long, and response depends on a few individuals. IKC builds ITOM that's designed for real operations connecting events → prioritisation → tickets/actions → continuous improvement.
Too many alerts, critical signals get buried
Incidents take too long because it's unclear where the issue is
Response depends on specific individuals, making handover difficult
Service impact is unclear, so prioritisation changes every time
Reporting exists, but it doesn't translate into operational improvement
ITSM exists, but events/monitoring aren't connected, tickets are created and routed manually
Collect → normalise → deduplicate/correlate → prioritise → route/escalate
Automatically create and route tickets, and attach guided response steps
Dashboards designed for operators (not just reporting)
Define what matters and how failures affect services at an operationally usable level
Make repeatable actions consistent across teams and shifts
Convert repeat signals into prevention work and safer change practices (where applicable)
Suppress duplicates and reduce non-actionable alerts
Establish clear "what operators must respond to" criteria
Events → impact-based priority → auto-routing
Standardise communications and response steps (as required)
Connect runbooks to tickets and standard workflows
Enable consistent response quality across teams and shifts
Turn recurring alerts into a problem/prevention backlog
Correlate changes/releases with operational signals to reduce regressions (where feasible)
and a prioritised ITOM backlog
and operating rules (suppression/correlation/routing/escalation)
and operational governance (ownership/RACI)
design and implementation (where applicable)
and operational KPIs
(monitoring, reprocessing, incident response, change control)
for ongoing maturity

Depending on your environment and goals, ITOM may be delivered using:
A. Monitoring is only a starting point. The real question is whether events lead to consistent action. ITOM is about making events operationally actionable, connecting them to workflow, and setting standards for response and improvement. Without that, you just get more alerts and more noise. With the right design, ITOM becomes a capability that improves accountability and speeds up response.
A. When alert volume is high, adding more tooling rarely helps. The first step is defining what is actionable: what deserves attention, what can be suppressed, and what should be correlated. Then you implement suppression, deduplication, and correlation rules before expanding into routing and governance. This turns alerts into a meaningful operational signal instead of constant distraction.
A. It is possible, but it is harder to sustain because there is no consistent mechanism to assign ownership, track work, and create traceability from event to resolution. In stable environments, events typically need to become tickets or actions. If ITSM exists, we align and strengthen the workflow. If it does not, we define minimal operational workflows to ensure accountability and traceability.
