Escalations
Support tickets may be escalated as a result of research, elapsed time, or direct customer request.
Research and internal escalations flows from Level 1 support personnel up through increasingly technical and senior personnel, including Product Development resources.
If necessary, a customer can escalate a ticket to Customer Support management or Executive management.
Note: for immediate production down support (24x7), please call +1 (630) 505-1890 instead.
To escalate a ticket, please email the Tier 1 contact below with the ticket number and reason for escalation. If an escalated ticket ages without progress, you may escalate to the Tier 2 escalation contact. If an Tier 2 escalated ticket continues to age without progress, you may escalate to the Tier 3 escalation contact.
Escalation Tier | Infogix Resource | Role |
Tier 1 | Varies by customer* | Customer Experience Team |
Tier 2 | Gerard Cafaro | Head of Customer Support |
Tier 3 | Tim Segall | Chief Technology Officer (CTO) |
* If you are unsure who your assigned Customer Experience Manager is, you may escalate directly to Tier 2.
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.
