Organizations of all sizes and in all industries are finding it costly to modify incident reporting systems once they have been installed. As a result, as time goes on, the threats, risks, processes and reporting requirements of organizations have changed, while they remain tied to the systems implemented years ago.

It's a common factor that organizations change, often acquiring new businesses and divesting of others. Internal and external threats change, and reporting requirements increase as regulatory bodies tighten oversight and companies expand across borders. These changes involve new threats and exposure to new risks, which need to be managed properly. A key tool in ensuring this happens is an incident management system, which must be flexible from the outset in order to accommodate new challenges.

The paper provides the most important items a company should consider, as well as avoid, when searching for an incident management system. Its purpose is to allow readers to make an informed decision on the solution that’s right for them as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

Among other helpful tips, the white paper details the importance of features like web access and data capturing in the implementation of incident reporting systems. It also points out things to avoid, including software that takes too much time and money to set up or systems that require a great deal of customization by the end user. For each, the paper explains exactly why that particular element should be welcomed or avoided.

The evolution from 2G/3G mobile networks to 4G creates challenges for operators that go well beyond the adoption of new handset airinterface technologies. 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMAX capacity translate into aggregate base station capacities that grow from the tens of megabits per second common today to hundreds. This in turn places demands on backhaul networks that drive a transition from copper and low-capacity microwave links to fiber and new gigabit wireless backhaul solutions. While operators look towards a new data-driven future, incumbent operators will still rely on their legacy of 2G/3G networks for years to come. Backhaul solutions that look forward to 4G must also support existing access technologies, without imposing substantial cost or complexity on operators.
