Support & Maintenance

Support and Maintenance is a ?critical? but non-core activity for many business enterprises. Organizations usually have many applications and software products in use and therefore outsourcing the support and maintenance activities provide significant values and cost benefits to these enterprises.

Our onshore-offshore model allows us to offer 24/7 support and maintenance. We offer support via phone, e-mail, IM chat and if needed, through web meetings (via web-ex or web-spoke).In our typical onshore-offshore model, the onshore team is responsible for onsite troubleshooting, handling user queries and resolving them, whereas the offshore team will be responsible of handling major issues, product enhancement, report writing and bug fixing. However, the exact roles and responsibilities of both the onshore and offshore team are decided with discussion with the client.

Our time to resolve and time to respond depends on the severity level of Problem Request (PR). We define three levels:

Severity Level 1: System is down or is malfunctioning, and this has severe impact on business. Time to respond is one hour and we try our level best to resolve the problem in one business day.

Severity Level 2: Malfunctioning that has impact on business, but workaround is available. Time to respond is from 4-24 hours. Time to resolve will depend on the complexity of the problem

Severity Level 3: Malfunctioning that does not have any significant impact on business. Time to respond is 24 hours. Time to resolve will depend on complexity of the problem.
