The development of information technology has provided numerous benefits in the advancement of various organizations. One government organization that has implemented information technology to support its business processes is the Department of Cooperatives and SMEs of East Java Province. With the increasing number of information technology services used by the Department of Cooperatives, new challenges and consequences inevitably arise in the service maintenance process when an incident occurs with the information technology services.
