The Opportunity:

The IPC Manager (IPCM)  is responsible for the upkeep and smooth operations of IT systems. They oversee all aspects of the incident/problem/change management process, from evaluation to resolution. The IPC Manager records all issues/changes and helps to design ways to prevent similar problems or audit changes in the future. He, she, or they will liaise with technical support teams to create procedures to deal with problems, changes, and develop solutions.

In an environment this complex and as our customers become more enterprise and sophisticated, it is critical that we have a lead that will implement the incident, problem, and change management framework. There is a high correlation between the incident, problem, and change; industry-standard estimates that over 80% of major incidents are change related. Change-related incidents are also easiest to remediate. While it is understood that incidents should be discovered and remedied as quickly as possible, IT organizations should also track and analyze incidents as part of a continual improvement process. By understanding which incidents occur most frequently and which costs the business the most, we can continue to improve our KPI - mean time to resolve.
