Technical Support and Service Level Agreements (SLA)
As a customer, you have complete access to a reliable team of professionals who have the technical knowledge and experience you require, supported by a commitment to reliable service and customer care. We understand the urgency that drives your need for support.
SMA Technologies’ Technical Support team is here when you need us. Our normal business hours are Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM CT.
If your support tier includes 24/7 on-call support for P1 and P2 issues, and you encounter a P1 or P2 issue outside of business hours, please contact us via our support phone line at 1-877-363-2305. Urgent matters will only be addressed after hours if a voicemail is left on this line.
Customer Support: Service Level Agreement
These are our customer support priority definitions, support tiers, and response times:
Priority 1
The production system is down or inaccessible, or there is a critical business process failure or critical performance degradation impacting production.
Priority 2
A non-critical production function is failing with no workaround and requires immediate attention.
Priority 3
A production function is failing but has a workaround or can be addressed during normal business hours but is prioritized over priority four issues.
Priority 4
This includes standard software support for all customer environments.
OpCon Cloud: Service Level Agreement
Monthly System Availability Service Level:
OpCon Cloud System Availability Level = 99.9%
Should the Company fail to achieve 99.9% over a calendar month, the Company and Customer shall work together to determine the root cause of such failure. In the event that the Company fails to achieve 99.9% system availability for a second consecutive month, or for any three (3) non-consecutive months during a calendar year, the Customer shall be entitled to a credit of:
MONTHLY UPTIME PERCENTAGE |
SERVICE CREDIT* |
< 99.9% |
10% of Monthly Fees |
< 99% |
25% of Monthly Fees |
< 95% |
100% of Monthly Fees |
"Available" means the Company's hosting infrastructure, applications, databases, systems, software, and data transmission are fully operational and able to run schedules or jobs and transmit the Customer's data accurately.
“Monthly Fees” equates to one-twelfth the annual amount charged for the OpCon Cloud system.
"System Availability" means the percentage of total time during which the Services are available to the Customer. System availability applies to non-scheduled maintenance but expressly excludes the Company's standard maintenance windows.
*All credits or refunds shall be paid by the Company to the Customer in the form of an invoice credit.
Managed Operations Support: Service Level Agreement
