Mode of Support

  1. User will log a Support ticket into our Application Support system (currently Atlassian Jira Support ticketing system).
  2. Based on the priority level indicated in the ticket, equalOne will acknowledge within the agreed Service Level Agreement which is usually within 24 hours.
  3. If required, more information may be requested from the originator of the requirement or the intended design. When all information is available the ticket will be assigned to the relevant support personnel and issue resolution will commence.
  4. The support personnel evaluate the Support Ticket and inform the originator of:
    1. the anticipated nature of the problem,
    2. the likely actions required to solve the Support Ticket, and
    3. an initial estimate of how long it will take to complete the resolution
  5. Support personnel will simulate the same scenario in the Development environment. He/ She will implement and test the resolution in the Development environment. After testing that it is working as expecting, a transport request will be sent to transport the change to the Quality Assurance environment.
  6. The originator will then test in the QA environment and either approves or declines the implemented changes.
  7. If the changes are declined, then more information is sought from the Originator and Support Personnel will revert to Step #4.
  8. If changes are approved, then a transport request is sent to the Production environment. Ticket is closed once the changes are transported to the Production environment.
