What’s Customer Service Incident Management?

In today’s digital world, service disruptions are inevitable. Web outages occur. Code changes or corrupt data bring down servers. Severe weather causes power outages or delivery delays. When service incidents like these happen to your business, you want to analyze the cause, streamline service operations, and minimize downtime. You can take those steps with Customer Service Incident Management from Agentforce Service (formerly Service Cloud).
