Incident Management
Capture, Investigate, Prioritise and Analyse Incidents and Loss Events
Capture
Record events as they arise, attribute them to the various categories to aid reporting and assign ownership for further investigation.
Investigate
Assess and investigate incidents raised in a structured fashion. Define plans to implement corrective actions.
Prioritise
Categorise incidents against agreed SLAs. Utilise automated alerts and escalations to provide warning of unresolved incidents.
Analyse
Perform trend analysis, identifying underlying root causes. Slice data by business lines, event types and geographical areas.
Business Value
The collection of incidents across the organisation that might impact on the profit & loss, the organisation's reputation, or its ability to provide a quality service to its customers by collecting customer complaints and opinions, is a key aspect of sound risk management. The collection and analysis of incident data provides management information which can be fed back into the operational risk management and mitigation process. Ultimately the database of incidents built up over time will also provide the basis for quantitative modelling and the calculation of capital or reserves allocation, where required.

Incident Management
Optial’s Incident Management module enables organisations to:
-
Record incidents at source via web-based forms or load automatically via external feeds.
-
Prioritise resources and mitigation activities.
-
Mark incidents as either losses or gains.
-
Categorise incidents by event types, business lines and causal factors to support reporting and analysis.
-
Ability to capture, investigate and analyse complaint related incidents in a structured manner
-
Utilise fully configurable data entry forms to capture relevant data in a consistent manner.
-
Utilise separate workflows and escalations for differing financial impacts.
-
Assign ownership to ensure accountability of the incident.
-
Record transaction amounts in local currency and report in either local or group currencies.
Incident Management in Optial is underpinned by the workflow process which determines the flow of each incident through to closure, including exception situations such as overdue items, escalations and multiple approvals.
Incidents can be linked to other items within Optial such as risks, controls, audit findings as well as other incidents.
One or many corrective actions can be added to each Incident. Each action is underpinned by a separate workflow and therefore effectively tracked through to successful closure.
