Our support programs encompass technical assistance, on-site consulting, system maintenance, integrity monitoring, and user training services. Our tiered support structure offers varying levels of service intensity, from basic technical assistance to comprehensive managed services. Each tier includes different response times, coverage hours, and service scope to match specific operational needs. Higher-tier programs typically include priority support channels, extended coverage windows, and more frequent system health assessments. JLL's support programs can include dedicated technical resources depending on the service tier selected. Higher-level support packages often feature assigned technical account managers who provide personalised service coordination and strategic guidance. Cloud support engineers are typically available for infrastructure-related services and cloud platform management.

Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
JLL provides comprehensive support to help users successfully implement and adopt Eptura Workplace through our proven hybrid implementation methodology and extensive training programmes.
Implementation Support JLL's implementation approach combines Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) principles with Agile Development elements, ensuring 98% of projects come in under budget and ahead of schedule. Our six-phase methodology includes Plan, Analyse, Design-Build/Test-Release, Transition, Sustainment, with parallel Project Management and Change Management tracks.
Training Services JLL develops and delivers customised training classes reflecting specific business processes, features, and modules users need for daily operations. We typically employ a Train-the-Trainer approach, providing clients with comprehensive training materials. However, we adapt to various training modalities including live webinars, recorded sessions, and "lunch and learn" formats based on client requirements.
User Documentation and Resources Eptura provides extensive user documentation through the Eptura Knowledge Centre, featuring detailed onboarding checklists for both Core and Advanced implementations. The knowledge centre includes setup guides for all modules, training videos, integration guides, and ongoing support resources. - Service documentation

- End-of-contract data extraction
- Using the Reporting Insights function, system users have access to build their own reports to capture all aspect of data contained within the system. Users can configure reports to contain the specific data required for offboarding and can output the report to a range of file formats including xls, csv, docx, pdf, pptx.
- End-of-contract process
- Should a client choose not to renew its Eptura Workplace contract, an off-boarding process is initiated. During this period, the client has the ability to export their data from the Eptura Workplace platform. Once the off-boarding window closes, the client's access to the Eptura Workplace service is deactivated. Following deactivation, Eptura proceeds with the permanent deletion of the client's data from its servers in line with its data retention and physical storage policies, ensuring all client information is securely and permanently removed after the business relationship has ended. Should you require additional assistance in offboarding data retrieval, our technical consultants can provide support for an additional fee.

Documentation is available in multiple formats including web-based and mobile-responsive versions that work with assistive technologies like screen readers. We employ consistent layout patterns and templates across all materials, conduct regular accessibility audits, and gather user feedback for continuous improvement to meet evolving standards and diverse user needs.

- API
- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
- Eptura Workplace features a robust integration framework, representing a significant investment that enables seamless interaction with various third-party applications. Typical use cases include Employee Directory Integration, Visitor Management, Space Utilisation with sensor data. Setup: Authenticate using username/password headers across three API endpoints (main API v2, Sensor API v3, Visitor API v3). All requests require HTTPS. Operations: Perform CRUD operations across Workplace modules, search assets, paginate through large datasets, sort results, and get record counts. Update resources using PUT requests with object ID and new values. Constraints: Visitors can only be created through registrations, not directly Large datasets require pagination implementation Must implement retry logic and error handling PUT updates need object ID plus target values Best Practices Required: Restrict requests to needed data, use proper pagination, make sequential calls, implement local logging, and request data at each collection level for optimal performance.

- Approach to resilience
- Primary data center is Azure South Central US with backups at Azure North Central US. App servers are rebuilt nightly using the latest available image to prevent malware from persisting in the environment. Network firewalls are configured with deny-by-default rules and all unused ports closed. Network is segmented into security groups with app servers isolated from database servers and other infrastructure. The network is monitored 24x7x365 for unusual traffic using OMS and Instana, and automated triggers are configured to block DDoS attempts and alert the appropriate teams to potential issues. ClamAV is installed on the file server to prevent files containing malicious code from being stored in the application environment. Refer to Application Support and Business Continuity and Business Cont. and Disaster Recovery - Data Center

All changes to customer systems, networks, servers, cloud environments, and databases are registered in Jira, documenting technical details, risk assessments, testing methods, rollback plans, and necessary approvals. Production changes are tested in a separate environment prior to deployment to minimise risk. Both standard and emergency changes require oversight; emergency changes may be verbally approved after risk assessment but must be recorded in Jira. Ad-hoc changes to production systems are strictly prohibited, preserving system integrity and security.

- Eptura’s vulnerability management process for Eptura Workplace includes monthly infrastructure and application scanning and annual penetration testing. Vulnerabilities are assessed by severity; critical issues are patched within 15 days, high-risk within 30 days, and medium-risk within 90 days. All changes are tracked through formal processes and tested before deployment. If a patch cannot be immediately applied, compensating controls are implemented. Threat assessment is ongoing and incorporates both risk evaluation and monitoring of emerging vulnerabilities through regular updates from industry sources. This approach ensures threats are assessed promptly and remediation aligns with risk to maintain platform security.
- Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- Eptura employs continuous automated monitoring and logging across all Eptura Workplace environments to detect attacks, misuse, or malfunctions. System and user activities—including logins, access attempts, and configuration changes—are logged, centrally stored, and reviewed at least quarterly. Alerts are triggered for suspicious activity or potential compromises, and dedicated security and incident response teams analyse events using established workflows. When a potential compromise is identified, Eptura initiates its major incident response procedures, containing and investigating the threat promptly. High-severity incidents require immediate action, with initial response and containment occurring within hours to ensure effective mitigation and notification.
- Incident management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach

Users report incidents by contacting security@eptura.com, or the designated on-call contact after business hours. Major incident types are clearly classified by severity, aligning resources and escalation protocols accordingly. Each incident is formally logged and assessed by an Incident Response Team, with mandatory reporting including incident timeline, impacted assets, and resolution details. Incident reports are detailed and follow a standardised structure, ensuring all relevant events, actions, and outcomes are documented. Post-incident review is conducted within seven days to analyse control gaps and define remediation actions.
