Escalations
The objective of Precisely Support is to provide effective case management that avoids time-critical situations as much as possible. However, we’ve implemented a comprehensive case escalation process for situations that call for extra attention.
We have defined specific rules and criteria against which we can monitor a case’s status and/or progress. Every situation is different, but particular circumstances can determine, or common indicators can reveal, when additional management attention is required on any one case.
Our philosophy also mandates that customers have an avenue for communicating a serious concern, especially in situations when production must be halted. This deserves an escalated level of support. You can initiate the escalation process through direct contact with a Precisely Support Engineer.
While we have a robust escalation process in place, we always emphasize the resolution of issues as early as possible through the appropriate allocation of resources. Additional resources or escalation are at the discretion of Precisely.
Standard Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
The SLAs in this section are standard for customers who have an active support plan. Freemium products, such as Analyze Desktop, have their own policies defined within the Analyze Product Lifecycle article.
SLAs are based upon the Severity and Priority of the issue.
Severity
Severity measures the impact of an issue based upon the criteria below:
- Critical
- Production environment is offline/down or all processing within a Production environment is halted
- Major
- An issue Production or a Production clone environment that either causes a widespread deviation in expected functionality or a severe business impact
- A non-Production environment is offline/down or all processing within a non-Production environment is halted
- Medium
- An issue within any environment that causes a deviation in expected functionality that aren't categorized as Critical or Major
- Minor
- All other requests not categorized as a higher severity, such as tasks, questions and non-issue related inquiries.
Priority
Priority is rated as Urgent, High, Normal or Low, and will raise and lower based upon the speed of end-user or Infogix responses, or by internal and external escalations. Priority can also be manually adjusted by end-users while viewing a specific ticket within My Activities.
Response Times
Response times are measured by combined weekday business hours throughout United States, Ireland and India. Each matrix provides the response time given each combination of Severity (rows) and Priority (columns).
