2. Fault reporting

When reporting an issue, customers should supply the following information to assist the company in producing a timely response:

  • The date and time at which the problem occurred.
  • Impact of problem on live operations based on severity definitions provided below.
  • Detailed description of issue, including the components involved (telephone system, Ethernet link, phones, gateways, router).
  • The phone numbers involved in the issue.
  • Type of calls, features, actions, or services impacted.
  • Frequency of issue.
  • Any available logs or traps.

3. General SLA and escalation path

Level 1 - Critical Failure (100% loss of service): problems severely affect service, traffic, billing and maintenance capabilities, and require immediate corrective action. Response time: within 2 hours. Target fix time: within 6 hours.

Level 2 - Major Failure (>25% loss of service): problems cause conditions that seriously affect more than 25% of the system operation and require immediate attention. Response time: within 4 hours. Target fix time: within 8 hours.

Level 3 - Minor Failure: problems do not significantly impair the functioning of the system and do not significantly affect service to customers. Response time: within 8 hours. Target fix time: within 24 hours.

Level 4 - Ad-hoc Support: requests for remote or on-site support with configuration, setup and training, or "how to" questions. Response time: 5 working days. Target fix time: N/A.

The company's goal is to provide a solution within the above target time-frames. For severity 1, critical failure and severity 2, major failure issues, the company will use best endeavours to provide a temporary solution to minimize service or system impacts, while a permanent solution is developed. Consequently, severity 1 issues may be downgraded to severity 2, and severity 2 issues may be downgraded to severity 3, following application of a temporary solution. Any downgraded severity can only be done when a workaround is in place and agreed by the customer as functional.

To meet these goals, the company requires that client personnel be on-site and that remote access to the product or system be available to allow remote diagnostics and maintenance. When an issue is reported, the company will: (1) make all efforts to immediately resolve the issue; (2) if an issue cannot be resolved immediately, inform the customer of a call back time with an update; (3) log all issues in the online ticketing system for tracking and analysis of possible trends.
