Technical description
First level support is responsible of ticket triage and assignment. Ticket triage requires a rota structure to make sure that a service is provided during regular business days. The assigner is responsible for initial analysis of the incoming ticket, requesting additional information from the submitter, and then either delivering a solution or assigning the ticket to a particular expert to resolve, or to NGIs in case of operational incidents. This activity is also responsible of the coordination with teams responsible for 2nd level and 3rd level support.
