Abstract

A system and method for computer error management initially detects an error and creates an error report. The error report is then sent to a server where it is hosted on the World Wide Web. The server additionally notifies designated users of the error and can allow the users to correct the error.

notifying at least one designated user of said error report;

providing an error correction user interface;

accepting a corrections form submitted by said at least one designated user; and

modifying a system of origin to correct said error pursuant to said corrections form.

2. The method of claim 1 comprising the additional steps of:

forwarding said error report to a second server; and

said second server formatting said error report for use with said web portal.
