HelpDesk Ticket Severity Rating

Lambda Solutions Support offers its clients the ability to select the severity of the submitted issue, when using the Support Portal.

There are four levels of severity that can be selected. Each level is assigned a corresponding Technical Support Policy response time. 

PRIORITY DESCRIPTION RESPONSE TIME

CRITICAL production issue that severely impacts your use of the service.   The situation halts your business operations and no procedural workaround exists.– Service is down or unavailable.– Data corrupted or lost and must restore from backup.

A critical documented feature / function is not available.

CRITICAL issues require the customer to have dedicated resources available to work on the issue on an ongoing basis with Lambda Solutions.
