Escalation Types
Functional Escalation: As soon as it becomes clear that
the service desk first level of support is unable to resolve
the incident the incident must immediately be escalated
to 2nd level and 3rd level support.
Hierarchic Escalation: Hierarchic escalation is the
escalation of an incident up the management chain
so that senior managers are aware and can be
prepared and take necessary action.
