A dedicated Client Support Executive acts as your relationship manager and primary point of contact. They coordinate with our Helpdesk, Network/Infrastructure, and Software Development teams to provide comprehensive technical support. All support services are fully included within our licence fees.

Support requests are managed through our Zendesk ticketing system and can be logged by email or phone. Each request generates an acknowledgement email with a ticket reference.

To ensure efficient triage, we ask that all requests include clear and accurate information. Tickets are classified as problems, issues, or change requests and prioritised by business impact:

• High Priority: Significant impact on production for many users
• Medium Priority: Minor impact on production
• Low Priority: Minimal impact

Our Helpdesk manages the customer-facing support process, providing 1st and 2nd line assistance. They are supported by our Infrastructure and Development teams for triage and escalation. Requests requiring 3rd line expertise are passed to the appropriate specialists, with communications maintained through the Helpdesk and tracked within Zendesk.
