Abstract: A method, system and apparatus are provided for enabling service technicians to record information about service calls, and have that information available to other technicians who may handle the call at another time. In addition to providing a mechanism for tracking customer information (including product and problem details), the system, apparatus and method disclosed herein enable the transfer of the customer's problems to higher care levels given by different individuals. In order to prevent a problem from being inadvertently dropped, the system, apparatus and method provides an ownership mechanism that allocates the call to a particular individual. If the call needs to be handed off to another individual, a methodology is provided for systematically handing off the call to the other individual (typically at another service level) and ensuring that that individual is responsible for the call from that point forward.
