Explanation

Resolve or escalate: Problem isolation should eventually uncover the root cause of the problem – that is, the cause which, if fixed, will resolve the problem. In short, resolving the problem means finding the root cause of the problem and fixing that problem. Of course, what do you do if you cannot find the root cause, or fix (resolve) that root cause once found? Escalate the problem. Most companies have a defined escalation process, with different levels of technical support and management support depending on whether the next step requires more technical expertise or management decision making.
