Service scope
- Service constraints
- The Signature Plan is the most comprehensive offering, but buyers should note that while it provides the highest service levels (99.99% SLA) and exclusive access to Custom Audits and a Lead Support Engineer, it is designed for large-scale enterprise needs. As such, the high level of resource dedication (including 30 support contacts) is reflected in the commercial model. There are effectively no "service level" constraints compared to other plans aside from any listed in the Appian Cloud subscription agreement.
