Support Cases
- A support case is defined as a question or an issue that focuses on one area of Unified Workspace, which has prompted the need to contact support via email, phone or other means.
- While we strive to answer your questions as fast as possible, there is no guaranteed solution time. Questions are generally responded to within one business day; however, depending on the issue, it may take longer to resolve fully.
- One case may involve several interactions with the Support Engineers to resolve and may require multiple phone calls, emails, and offline research.
- To assist in finding a solution to a customers problem, multiple calls, emails, and remote sessions may be required.
- A reasonable effort will be made to resolve the issue to the customer's satisfaction. In some cases, a patch may need to be developed, and a customer will need to apply this patch to fix the problem.
- The time it takes to develop a fix cannot be guaranteed, and a workaround may be offered until a permanent fix can be found.
- Support escalations: Unified Workspace has a single tier support structure. Your support request is being handled by Level 3 support Engineers. Escalations would bring in other members of the support and development teams.
- If your organization has multiple support cases open, please inform support of your order of priority for each request in relationship to your other cases.
