Isolate the issue. End the finger-pointing.
In an enterprise, seconds of downtime can quickly multiply into hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars lost. Keeping key applications running smoothly 24/7/365 is a matter of business survival, and every second counts.  Because the stakes are so high, IT staff shouldn't have to waste time duplicating problems that users report "in the wild" or responding to uninformed finger-pointing.
