“The types of services that are most helpful in obtaining operational
excellence are those that affect overall cost including: quality of an
implementation and guidance to improve efficiency of operations.”
CIO Magazine, November 2008
Services Drive Down IT Costs

Oracle Support Priorities
• Minimize system disruption through:
• Problem Avoidance• resolving configuration and data issues that would
cause processes to fail
• Self Service Resolution• resolving problems without the need to contact Oracle
Support
• Reduction in Resolution Time• minimizing the time spent to resolve an issue
![Page 7: Oracle Premier Support – Creating Customer Value](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fd40d1f12630596f67da80/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• System goes down
• You call Support
• You wait for Support to call back
• Support calls you back
• You download and install a patch
• System is eventually recovered
Reactive
Proactive
Predictive
• Support notifies you of the latest patches
• You figure out which patches apply to your system
• You download the new patches
• You install the new patches
• System outage is averted some of the time
• Specific software defect is identified
• You are automatically notified of the potential problem & impact
• You’re offered a remedy
• You implement the recommended remedy
• System outage is averted most of the time
Which support model would you rather have?

Best PracticesFor
Reactive Issues
![Page 40: Oracle Premier Support – Creating Customer Value](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fd40d1f12630596f67da80/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Service Request Severity Definitions
Severity Level 4
Severity Level 3
Severity Level 2
Severity Level 1
No Business Impact
Minor Business Impact
Serious Business Impact
Critical Business Impact
No loss of service or resources
Minor loss of service or resources
Severe loss of service or resources w/o acceptable workaround
Complete loss of service or resources and work cannot reasonably continue - the work is considered “mission critical”
![Page 41: Oracle Premier Support – Creating Customer Value](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fd40d1f12630596f67da80/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
When you have an issue…• First, search the knowledge base for a possible solution
• Log your Service Request through My Oracle Support
• Provide as much detail as possible when logging your Service Request including:• Product and version (e.g. V6.0.2.2 instead of V6)• Database and version• Client Operating System• Environment where the problem is occurring (e.g. Development,
Production, Test)• Product Area (e.g. Assignment Manager, Installation,
Configuration, etc)• Relevant error numbers, if any, and text exactly as it appears.
![Page 42: Oracle Premier Support – Creating Customer Value](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fd40d1f12630596f67da80/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Additionally include… • A complete description of the issue:
• Include as many details as possible• Include a detailed history of the environment and
any changes• Is the issue reproducible• Detailed replication steps• Troubleshooting steps• Did you try any suggested solutions – document
these as well along with their results• Attach any supporting documents – log files, trace
files, screen shots
![Page 43: Oracle Premier Support – Creating Customer Value](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fd40d1f12630596f67da80/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Other considerations…• Help us understand your environment!
• The data, software, and hardware configurations, patch combinations, and integration points are different for every customer.
• Ensure that the business impact of the issue is well understood• How is the issue impacting your business?• What is the financial impact on your company?• Include details to back up the requested Severity.• The more you can quantify the impact the more leverage
support has to ensure the issue is worked appropriately!
• Verify that the Severity Level is set appropriately and represents the business impact of your issue
![Page 44: Oracle Premier Support – Creating Customer Value](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fd40d1f12630596f67da80/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
When Working a Service Request…• Documentation is essential
• Answer all questions the support engineer is asking• Ensure there is an action plan after each update and define who
owns each action• Minimize SR ‘tag’ or ‘pinging’ by ensuring you provide what is
requested or an explanation of why it was not provided.• Request phone calls where appropriate• Request Collaborative Support sessions as appropriate
(OWC).• Test in the standard environments.• Monitor changes in SR status and severity.• Communicate when a change in severity becomes
necessary.• Escalate concerns via the escalation process.
![Page 45: Oracle Premier Support – Creating Customer Value](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fd40d1f12630596f67da80/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Asking to increase the Severity of your Service Request is
NOT an escalation.
• Escalating an issue means bringing Oracle Support
Management attention to your Service Request.
• Escalating your Service Request will provide a direct, 2-way
dialogue with a Manager in Support.
• Severity increases can be discussed during this dialogue.
