Support levels
Our operations team is broken down into two areas, Service Desk and Engineering. The Service Desk acts as the primary source of all activity, where calls are categorised, prioritised and filtered to the relevant specialist if required. Our calls are given a priority level from 1-5; whereas P1 is Disaster, business is non-operational all the way through to P5, of which could be a cosmetic incident, for example. Our response times and levels are summarised below: P1 - Urgent - 15mins Response Time (RT), 4 hrs Target Full Fix Time(TFFT) P2 - Critical - 30 mins RT, 8 hrs TFFT P3 - Very Important - 4 hrs RT, 20 hrs TFFT P4 - Important - 10 hrs RT, 30 hrs TFFT P5 - Informational - 3 days RT, 90 days TFFT (never normally this long) The majority of activity will be remote based working, however we will send either a senior engineer to the client site, or a cloud specialist to a cloud hosting datacentre site, as and when required, depending on the incident. All priority incidents are included in our pricing, defined by customised SLA's and can be in unlimited numbers if required, depending on the client's needs.
