Technical Support Availability (BASIC): Technical Support Priority

Severity: Case Priority Definitions
Due to nature of technical problems all reported cases will be reviewed by support team and then proper priority will be assigned to the ticket.


Case Priority Details:
·       CRITICAL (Priority 1) — the problem results in extremely serious interruptions to a production system. It has affected, or could affect, the entire user community. Tasks that should be executed immediately cannot be executed because of a complete crash of the system or interruptions in main functions of the production system. Data integrity is compromised, and the service request requires immediate processing as the issue can result in financial losses. In a desktop application, whether part of, or independent of a solution, the issue is at risk of creating imminent financial losses due to missing critical project deadlines or deliverables. The customer shall call Bitdefender Support for all critical priority 1 issues.
 
·       URGENT (Priority 2) — the problem results in serious interruptions to normal operations, will negatively impact an enterprise-wide installation, urgent deadlines or at risk. In a production system, important tasks cannot be performed, but the error does not impair essential operations. Processing can continue in a restricted manner, and data integrity may be at risk. In a pre-production environment, the problem hinders deployment of an enterprise installation. In a desktop application, meeting urgent project deadlines that have a financial impact are at risk. The service request requires timely processing, because the malfunction could cause serious interruptions to critical processes or negatively impact business.
 
·       IMPORTANT (Priority 3) — the problem causes interruptions in normal operations. It does not prevent operation of a production system, or there could be minor degradation in performance. The error is attributed to malfunctioning or incorrect behavior of the software. The issue will affect a pilot or proof-of-concept deadline in a development environment. In a desktop application, meeting important project deadlines may be at risk.
 
·       MINOR (Priority 4) — the problem results in minimal or no interruptions to normal operations (no business impact). The issue consists of "how to" questions including issues related to product and integration, installation and configuration inquiries, enhancement requests, or documentation questions.
 
·       HOME USERS — all requested problems by home product users should be treated with the same importance as business clients, however if there are business clients in the queue their cases should be solved in the first place.
