Support -> Support Prioritization
Support Areas and
Prioritization
Response Times
Although we would
like to always be able to answer all support calls instantly, some days
this is just not possible. In general, reception will be able to provide
approximate time estimates on call backs when you call in. Normally, if
you do not get right though to a support person, you can expect a call
back within about 15 minutes. On busier days, this can stretch out to
two hours but rarely more.
Priority Levels
We recognize that
different types of support issues can affect your brokerage and users
more critically than others. While we strive to minimize response times,
when we can't service everyone all at once, we use the following chart
as our guide for prioritizing calls:
|

This can be the
most serious type of problem. If users load data into your system
without backup capability, then a serious server malfunction can
result in the loss of important information. |
|
Server Down |
When you main
CIM-Data Server is down, No one can function, process, or answer
client questions. |
|
WorkStation
Down |
When one of
your Work-Stations is down, that person can not function, process,
or answer client questions. |

Printers
Printer Set-up |

PCL5 or 6 standard laser printers, any type of Epson. If a printer
is not functioning or cannot get reports to print. Very important on
an every day basis to have a well functioning printer. |

If a job has
failed you cannot run another job until the failed job is deleted.
The same applies to Midnight Run. If the date is not changed over,
then your reports will not generate etc. ppdv01, arlv01, penv01. Any
thing on how to run a report, what parameters to use and overall how
to execute reports. |
