Support levels
We have a dedicated Ideagen Support Team that operates a risk-based triage process in order to prioritise all support requests. This is based on the impact to end users and also the severity of the issue as defined by the customer reporting the issue. This risk assessment will produce a priority level. Software issues (e.g. bugs, defects) are reviewed and verified by Ideagen’s Test and QA Teams. Once reviewed, the issue is given a severity which controls the time of a fix. Support is provided as part of annual maintenance cost.

Daily communication by line managers and between team members was encouraged and support and relevant measures put in place for those not able to work from home.
