Support is typically tailored to client requirements based on Bronze/Silver/Gold levels and a modular approach to managed services packages.
Support Severity Levels are defined as follows:-
P1 - Unable to conduct business
P2 - Business can continue but impeded
P3 - Minimal business disruption
Response times are dependent on required customer SLA/SLO levels but are typically 15 minutes for P1 incidents.
Cost is dependent on complexity of cloud architecture and number of standard managed service modules adopted by client, e.g. 24*7 SOS, patching, reporting, DR testing etc.
Each managed service provisioned for a client has an account manager, service delivery manager and technical lead manager assigned.

Fighting climate change
We are committed to protecting the environment. We will:
• Comply with all environmental laws and regulations.
• Reduce our environmental impact by using energy and resources efficiently. • Recycle and dispose of waste properly.
• Educate employees about environmental protection.
• Reduce our impact on the environment by conducting meetings virtually where appropriate
• Where face to face meetings are necessary, we encourage travel by public transport
Cintra’s standard working policy is “remote” or “working from home”. This was the policy before the COVID 19 pandemic and will remains in place post-COVID. Where possible, Cintra employees are provided with refurbished laptops, as opposed to buying brand new. This accounts for 80%+ of global staff. Cintra operates an “if not, why not” policy related to Travel & Expenses, meaning staff have to gain pre-approval handled via a third-party travel agency who carry out their own due diligence before confirming any travel and accommodation. Hotel arrangements are made mainly with the Hilton Group, who are recognised as the most sustainable hotel chain globally. Cintra’s office network is powered by a NET Zero supplier, utilising wind farm technology - https://www.sseenergysolutions.co.uk/
Cintra are advocates of Cloud based technology. The use of cloud computing is proven to have significant positive outcomes on reducing environmental impacts and reducing the effects of climate change. Cloud technology sees the ability to right-size for workloads and the use of technology such as auto scaling, keeping a tight reign on resource consumption therefore significantly reducing environmental impacts.Equal opportunity
At Cintra, we do not tolerate discrimination or harassment in any part of our business. We are fully committed to promotion of equal opportunities in employment. This covers any and all aspects of our company operations, how we treat those who work for and with us and how we recruit or engage others to join that community. This means that our policy covers, but is not limited to, the following:
• Pay and employment conditions
• Our recruitment process
• How we may appraise, reward, incentivise, promote, train, and commit to the continuing professional development of our workers
• Our procedures for addressing grievances and disciplinary matters
• How we end employment contracts and exit employees, including related matters, such as references for future employers
• How visitors, clients and suppliers and other key business contacts and stakeholders are treated It also means that we will ensure, as far as possible:
• full access to everyone applying for job vacancies and job opportunities with our business, and
• that all relevant decisions are made on the basis of objective criteria
