Technical Support Severity Matrix

The following timers and matrix will be applied to tickets depending on the support package they have been assigned, every time the requester (customer opening a ticket within this portal) creates a new ticket.

All tickets will always be subject to triage by our Technical Support team to better understand their impact and adjust Severity/Priority when necessary.

Severity Definitions: Ticket severity, as defined within our service level agreement (SLA), indicates the impact of the reported issue.

 

Severity 1: The Telecom Platform is completely down, inoperable, or inaccessible. Most users/devices are impacted, and the feature/function inoperability completely affects business operations.

Severity 2: A Major feature or function of the Telecoms Platform is inoperable or not functioning, causing a high to moderate impact on the customers' operations. A larger to medium portion of the users/devices are impacted. The feature/function impacted prevents you from normally running the operations.


Severity 3: A feature or function of the Telecoms Platform is inoperable or not functioning as per design but has a low impact on the customers' operations. A medium to small portion of the users/devices are impacted.


Service Request: A request that is part of daily customer operations, such as creating, updating, or deleting records/devices, validating device behavior, and normal account activities that occur as part of the operation and usage of the Telecommunications Platform.

Timers:

First reply time: The time between the first customer comment and the first public comment from an agent, displayed in minutes.

Periodic updates (Premium ONLY): The time between each public comment, displayed in minutes.

Target resolution time: This is the target time to resolve a ticket, including all statuses.

Clock and Support Hours:

Clock Hour: This means any continuous period of 60 minutes, whether or not it falls within support hours. 

Standard Support Hours: The hours during which support is available as specified on the Contract Front Sheet on the Standard Support Days.
