Solution Support Policy 

(Updated June 16 2015)

 

 

Mi-Corporation prides itself on providing a high level of service and support to our customers.

This Solution Support Policy (“Policy”) describes the software support services we offer to customers who have paid all applicable support fees and are using licensed software in a supported configuration provided by Mi-Corporation (with the configuration provided by Mi-Corporation being referenced as “Solution” below). Customers must be current on their solution support contracts to receive support. Additional details regarding technical support may be found in the Software License Agreement.

 

This document specifically addresses solution support. It does not address AIMS/Software Assurance support which is handled separately.

 

The standard solution support policy includes Tier 1 Solution Support defined below. Tier 2 and Tier 3 Solution Support policies are also defined below, and provided at an additional support cost arrangement. Business hours are 8am ET to 8pm ET.

 

Tier 1 Solution Support

 


Technical support for Solutions is provided via email to companies with a paid solution support contract. All technical support requests must be submitted via e-mail to support@mi-corporation.com. E-mail request submission is necessary in order for our support tracking system to properly assign a tracking number so that our support staff can monitor the status of open issues and customers may know the status of their request(s). If our technical support department determines that they cannot sufficiently answer a submitted technical support request through e-mail, one of our support technicians will contact the customer by phone.


Support voicemails are similarly routed via email to the support tracking system, but direct support emails are encouraged for communication effectiveness of issue details. Support requests are handled in the order they are received.


Solution support requests are answered on a first in, first out policy. All solution support requests (and all follow-up requests for more information) will be responded to within 1 business day. We make every effort to answer all support requests as soon as they arrive. Response times are subject to request volume and request complexity. In order to provide accurate and timely responses to our customers, we ask that they provide as much information as possible for each issue reported. Please review the guidelines below for more information. Support requests not meeting the guidelines will impact the accuracy and timeliness of the support response.


In addition to our talented support staff, we also provide an online knowledge base. The knowledge base contains common issue resolutions, example forms and code, and other information for users and developers of product solutions offered by Mi-Corporation.

Tier 1 Solution Support requests will be billed at a Tier 1 Level.


Tier 2 Solution Support

Support email requests with the keyword “URGENT” in the subject of the email will be handled as a Tier 2 Solution Support request. Support email requests that require support during non-business hours or require urgent “within 4 hour” responses will also be handled as Tier 2 Solution Support requests.


For Tier 2 Solution Support requests, a support technician will respond within 4 business hours of the request. The Tier 2 Solution Support request will be granted top priority above all other solution and product support requests.

Tier 2 Solution Support requests will be billed at a Tier 2 Level.


 

Tier 3 Solution Support

A customized arrangement of support procedures negotiated on a per-customer / solution basis may be arranged. Please contact Mi-Corporation Sales for more information, sales@corporation.com or call 888-621-6232 x5 for more information
