Also, e-mail for lower priority issues. We typically make ourselves available after working hours if a high priority problem is pending. Two hours is our typical response time to medium and high priority calls. We typically respond to call or e -mails related to training or usage issues within 24 hours. The following escalation procedures will be employed to insure an appropriate response to any interruption of service in order to minimize downtime. Problems are addressed quickly during the hours of 8:OOam and 6:OOpm EST Monday through Friday excluding Holidays and weekends. General problem reporting and resolution procedures When a problem is encountered during regular business hours, the following steps will be preformed: The Customer's users will ideally first contact the designated coordinator /primary user of software. This will probably be a person who is most familiar with the software at the Customer, and that person will endeavor to determine the cause of the problem. Anyway user of the software is welcome to call CIT directly, but including the designated coordinator in problem resolution is desired. If the problem seems to require assistance from CIT, they will be contacted at this point. Otherwise, the Customer designated coordinator or other appropriate person will attempt to correct the problems. The Customer designated coordinator or other staff will verify network connects, resolve printer problems and any desktop issues in order to ensure the problem is not one external to the software. If the Customer is unable to determine the cause of the failure, the designated coordinator will contact CIT. CIT may be notified through e-mail, phone or other means. A toll -free number will be maintained by CIT for use by Customer staff in contacting its support staff, and it will be staffed so that a response to a call will either be immediate, or within 2 hours of receipt of call. CIT resources will work with the Customer to diagnose the problem. After investigating the issue, CIT and Customer will jointly categorize the problem into: Type of Problem Ownership Server Hardware Problem IT Desktop Hardware Problem IT Network Communication IT Isolated Workstation Issue IT Database Performance /storage CIT Application or software related CIT Problem Definition and Priority: 9 The following table provides a list of the types of problems that can be experienced.
