Service scope

Service constraints
Panacea Consult focuses on Extreme Networks environments, so buyers get deep specialist expertise rather than generic advice. Work is scoped and scheduled in advance, usually within UK business hours (08:00–18:00, Monday to Friday), giving clear timelines and predictable delivery. Out of hours or weekend work is available by agreement and may use enhanced rates. Activity is delivered within the scope set out in the Call Off Contract, with any extra requirements handled through additional consultancy days. Where Extreme Networks roadmaps, firmware support or feature deprecation could affect outcomes, we will highlight options and recommend a practical way forward.

User support

Email or online ticketing support
Yes
Support response times
Queries raised by email or via our ticketing system are normally acknowledged within one working day. For active projects, questions relating to in-flight work are usually picked up the same day and discussed at agreed progress checkpoints. Where an urgent issue is raised during a live engagement, we will triage it within one hour during UK business hours (08:00–18:00, Monday–Friday). Out of hours and weekend queries are handled by prior agreement and may attract enhanced rates, with expectations confirmed in the Call-Off Contract.

Support levels
Customers work directly with a named lead consultant or architect and the delivery engineers, who stay with the engagement from discovery through to handover. Issues or design questions that arise during an in-flight project are handled immediately by this team as part of the normal delivery flow, rather than via a separate helpdesk tier.

Queries about in-scope work can also be raised by email or our ticketing system and are normally acknowledged within one working day. Where work or troubleshooting depends on vendor input, customers are expected to maintain appropriate vendor support contracts so that GTAC cases and RMAs can be raised without delay.

Pricing is transparent and follows the Panacea Consult Project Days model. Day rates are based on the total volume of days purchased, the mix of roles required (for example Principal Architect, Senior Engineer or Engineer), and a delivery factor that discounts work delivered remotely. An additional discount applies where the customer has an active Panacea Care support agreement.
