Support Logging

Customers may log all faults via e-mail or telephone in the case of emergencies. A support ticket will be generated from an e-mail, or a support person logging a fault. First line support will be responsible for monitoring all tickets lodged, and assigning an appropriate status and resource to them.

In the event of an emergency, the support person is expected to log a ticket immediately upon receiving an emergency call. They will then follow the emergency procedure, to the point that either the issue is resolved, or the issue needs to be escalated by the support team. Front-line support may not escalate the issue until each step in the support procedure guide has been checked.

If the issue needs to be escalated the second line support person is expected to act on incident immediately, and the front-line support person is expected to contact the customer to communicate that the issue has been escalated.

Throughout the process of resolving a ticket, the customer must be updated at the following milestones:

If a ticket is not closed within a week of the ticket state changing to “Testing/verified”, the ticket will be closed by CloudAfrica.
