Support Tiers and Escalation Process
Front Desk – Field all support phone calls. They address base questions such as license codes, download links, support site questions, etc. If more technical help required they will forward to Level 1 Support. Level 1 Support – This is our base line support group. They are extensively and routinely trained on all technical aspects of our software product line. Most support tickets are handled by this group. If they reach a point where they are not making significant progress on an issue, they will escalate the ticket to Level 2 Support. Escalation typically occurs within 1 hour. Level 2 Support – A Level 2 Support member is someone who has worked on our support team for over 2 years and has advanced experience and knowledge of our products. They are typically members of our Professional Services or Software Development groups. If they reach a point where adequate progress is not being made, they will escalate the ticket to Level 3 Support. Escalation typically occurs within 1-2 hours. Level 3 Support – A Level 3 support member is typically a Software Application Engineer that has done development on this particular product or similar product. They will stay with the ticket until it is fully resolved.
