FAQ: What are Smartwebs Support Service Level Agreements (SLAs)?
Learn what to expect after submitting a Support request to Smartwebs, including our first-response commitment, resolution goals by request type, escalation paths for product-related issues, and options for receiving live assistance. This article outlines Support Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and explains how tickets are prioritized, managed, and communicated throughout the resolution process.
Purpose
This article outlines the expected response and resolution timelines for Support requests submitted to Smartwebs.
First Response Expectations
While the total time required to resolve a support request depends on its content and complexity, our goal is to provide an initial response to all inquiries within one (1) business day. Upon receiving a ticket, a Client Support Representative will:
- Review the information provided.
- Categorize and prioritize the request.
- Request any additional information needed to investigate.
- Provide an expected timeline and next steps.
SLA by Request Type
Tier 1: Standard Requests
SLA: Our goal is provide a resolution within one (1) week. Standard requests typically involve:
- General product questions
- User management requests
- Configuration assistance
- New association setup
- Basic troubleshooting
- Report requests
Tier 2: Non-Standard Requests
SLA: our goal is provide a resolution within two (2) weeks. Non-standard requests typically involve:
- Association transfers
- Complex troubleshooting
- Multi-team investigations
- Integration related inquiries
- Advanced configuration issues
- Data review or recovery requests
Tier 3: Product Requests
These tickets are routed outside of Support SLAs and typically involve:
- Bug Fix requests
- Engineering or Data requests
- Feature Enhancement requests
Upon review and replication by Support of the system issue or enhancement use case, these requests are routed from Support to the respective Engineering POD intake process. Timelines for product requests are determined by the software development roadmap and assigned resources based upon priority, severity, business value, and scope of impact.
Important Notes
The timelines above represent target service levels and may vary based on request complexity, required client responses, third-party dependencies, or unforeseen technical circumstances. If additional time is needed, the assigned Client Support Representative will provide status updates and revised expectations throughout the lifecycle of the ticket.
