The frustration of running into a technical issue is the unplanned time to troubleshoot and find a resolution. Technical problems cause interruptions and delays. Following is the typical process to resolve a technical issue:
- Try to reproduce the problem to determine when it happens and to who.
- Search in the knowledge base of eService and Ucern for a resolution.
- If you are unfamiliar with the related solution area, you may also need to learn related concepts that affect or are part of the resolution.
- Apply a potential resolution. If this does not work, continue searching for a solution.
- In many cases, you end up creating an SR to request support.
- You document all your findings so far, plus images and the MTA.
- eService asks you to gather additional information.
- eService proposes a resolution.
- It could be necessary to follow up with eService to understand the solution they offered.
- If the proposed resolution does not work, ask for additional investigation.
- In many cases, several calls with eService can be necessary.
I have been in situations where I had to stop my planned work for several days and work on finding a resolution for an issue. When you have a deadline, spending a lot of time trying to solve a problem can be annoying and stressful.
Having someone to whom you can delegate the issue by email or a short call is ideal.
I can help with precisely this. I have been resolving Cerner-Millennium issues for over 17 years. Once I understand the problem, I take care of the details to solve it.
