Support Level by Tier

Escalations

It's understood that miscommunications or changes in a situation can result in the need to reprioritize an issue. If the progress of a support request is not as expected, you can request an escalation. By escalating a support request, the issue will be brought to the attention of management who will then prioritize resources to resolve the issue in a timely manner.  

To escalate an existing support request, reply to the last communication received on the issue and CC Escalations.

After an escalation has been requested, an escalation engineer will evaluate the situation and determine the appropriate next steps. The request will not be de-escalated until we have:

• Confirmed there is an acceptable action plan.
• Verified troubleshooting and problem analysis are following proper process.
• Documented that all parties agree the request can be de-escalated.
