Prioritising Support Calls

Priority Levels

Quay Software Support will agree the priority level with the client based on the description of the problem raised by the user as follows:

Severity Level Classification / Business Impact
Urgent System inoperable or critical business process unavailable company wide
Standard All other problems

Whilst Quay Software Support will accept the priority requested by the client, if it appears that calls are being incorrectly prioritised then we will review with the client how calls are being prioritised and if necessary determine the priority of future calls on their behalf.

Changing Support Call Priority

If the user notifies Quay Software Support that there has been a change in the nature of the problem then Quay Software may decide to modify the priority level.

Notes

1. Hours are business hours
2. Hours are additive (e.g. total time to resolve 80% of Urgent call is 6 hours)
3. Service Levels do not include bug fixes or feature requests which are subject to new software releases.
4. Service Levels do not include diaried calls, whereby progress is dependent on the client (e.g. information or availability)
5. These Service Levels are for guidance only and are not contractually binding.
