Support levels
The Britannic Service Desk is committed to delivering the best service for our clients. Our process ensures that any critical customer issue is promptly escalated, day or night, regardless of contract level. This minimises delays during major incidents. Technical expertise and accountability are fundamental to our service ethos. Each new product added to our portfolio undergoes rigorous technical onboarding to cultivate in-house subject matter experts, enhancing the value we deliver to customers. In cases requiring vendor escalation, typically for software bugs or feature requests, we demonstrate our commitment and capability by managing the majority of service tickets and requests in-house. We take pride in our flexibility, adhering to necessary processes outlined in our ISO/IEC 20000 accreditation while striving to exceed customer expectations. By default, new customers are provided with our Bronze support package at no additional cost, however we can discuss increasing this if required. Pricing is based upon a percentage of the list price of the equipment in the solution. We also report on a tighter, internal measurement of SLO (Service Level Objective). This is a service goal which Britannic set above the contractual SLA measure. We are fully transparent with our customers regarding our performance against this measure.

Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Throughout the process, a named Project Manager will be assigned to each client to manage the implementation process in line with PRINCE2 methodology. This will follow an initial meeting with the client, the Britannic Project Manager and the Britannic Account Manager. As part of the project initiation a brief questionnaire will be completed that captures all key information relating to the DTMF masking solution and the client environment. A period of User Acceptance Testing will commence for an agreed period of up to seven (7) business days period. Once live, the service will go through the Early Life Support and then to the Operations team for Business as Usual support in line with the agreed SLAs.
Onsite training, online training and user documentation will be provided.

End-of-contract data extraction
If requested, we will work with each client to ensure the extraction/deletion of data when the contact ends.
End-of-contract process
At the end of the contract the client can continue to use the service (contract extension) or terminate use accordingly. There are no financial penalties or costs to terminate contract at end of agreed term or extend beyond initial term, commencing a new term, which triggers monthly service charge and transactions charges accordingly.

Fighting climate change

As an integral component of our environmental strategy, our dedication to sustainability encompasses multiple facets, spanning from our office practices to our data centre operations. At the core of our commitment lies our conscientious approach to recycling.
Within our office premises and across our datacentres, recycling initiatives are rigorously implemented. Specifically, within our datacentres, dedicated recycling collection points are established to ensure the proper disposal of all equipment packaging. This meticulous process is not only compliant with regulations but also aligns with our values of environmental stewardship.
For Britannic, our environmental commitment is not in place solely to adhere to compliance regulations, we want to play our part in fostering a greener future. Through comprehensive recycling initiatives, responsible disposal practices, and strategic partnerships, we endeavour to lead by example in championing sustainability across all facets of our operations.

Equal opportunity

The company is strongly dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion across all areas of our business operations. The following is a summary of our policies, practices, and activities that support diversity and inclusion: 
Recruitment Policies & Practices: 
- Equal Opportunities Policy: We have a comprehensive Equal Opportunities Policy in place that ensures all individuals associated with the company are treated fairly and without discrimination. This policy complies with anti-discrimination laws, protecting against discrimination based on protected characteristics such as age, disability, gender, and more. 
- Recruitment Practices: Our recruitment processes are designed to prioritise merit and eliminate any form of discrimination. We use gender-neutral language in job advertisements, and our interviewers are trained to avoid asking discriminatory questions. We also ensure that our vacancy advertisements are widely disseminated to reach a diverse section of the labour market, promoting equal opportunities. 
- Equality Monitoring: We actively engage in equality monitoring by voluntarily and anonymously collecting data on various aspects, such as ethnic group, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and age. This data helps us identify underrepresented or disadvantaged groups within our organisation and informs our diversity and inclusion initiatives. 

Our policies and practices demonstrate a clear commitment to enhancing diversity and inclusion in recruitment, internal development, and customer-facing service delivery. We continuously monitor and improve these initiatives, ensuring that diversity and inclusion are not just policies but integral parts of our organisational culture.

Wellbeing

Britannic are deeply committed to generating social value through our holistic approach to employee wellbeing and community engagement. We understand that fostering a supportive and empowered workforce not only benefits our employees but can make a positive impact on the local community.
Private Medical Coverage: Our provision of private medical coverage, including mental health services, ensuring that our employees have access to essential healthcare resources. By prioritising mental health, we contribute to reducing the stigma around these issues and promote overall well-being.
Birthday Leave: We believe that personal milestones are worth celebrating, and granting a day off for birthdays is a small way to show our appreciation for our employees. This policy enhances work-life balance, allowing individuals to spend quality time with loved ones and nurture personal relationships.
Volunteering Day: Our dedication to social value extends beyond the workplace. We offer our employees the opportunity to take a volunteering day, empowering them to give back to their communities. This not only strengthens our employees' sense of purpose but also creates a positive ripple effect by supporting various charitable causes within the local community.
Personal Training and Development: We actively encourage personal training and development initiatives. By investing in our employees' growth, we not only equip them with valuable skills but also foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
Extending Social Value to Clients: We actively seek to provide social value to our clients, through volunteering days, seminars, conferences, workshops, training assets and wellbeing portals.
