Case Management Articles

If a case submitted to Product Support needs the engagement of Development, Cloud Operations, or a 3rd party, it may need more time to resolve pending their analysis and findings.

Criteria for escalations

The following criteria must be met for an escalation request to be approved.

  1. There must be an active case. There must be an existing case open before it can be escalated. 
  2. Double-check the case. Has there been a recent update to the case that you may have missed? Is Product Support waiting on more information from you before they can proceed?
  3. Do not request an escalation based on change in urgency or impact. If a case warrants a priority update to High due to greater urgency or wider impact, contact Product Support.
  4. An escalation should not be requested for a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) unless Product Support has had 5 business days for cloud deployments to complete analysis, per our standard Service Level Targets for RCA delivery. See PureConnect Direct Customer HandbookPureConnect Partner Handbook, or Cloud CX Handbook.
  5. Escalations for high-priority cases need 24 hours since their last update, and the issue is actively causing significant business impact.
  6. Low-priority cases are not eligible for escalation.
    • To change a case to medium-priority, request the change in the work notes.
    • To change a case to high-priority, contact Product Support.

                                                                                                                                                            

FedRAMP Cloud CX cases

All communication for FedRAMP escalations is done via email.

  1. Create an email with the following template:
    • Subject - Customer Name - My Support Case Number - Brief Problem Statement
    • Email body:
      • My Support Case Number -
      • Customer Name -

Management process

  1. Customer or Partner submits an Escalation Request.
  2. The Escalation Owner reviews the request and determines if it meets the Escalation Criteria.
  3. The Escalation Owner replies to the request with next steps.
    • NOTE - If the Escalation Request is invalid, the Escalation Owner will give reasons why and give process information to the requestor.
  4. If an escalation request is valid, the Escalation Owner evaluates the situation, prioritizes the escalation by importance and urgency, and works with the engineers to set expectations regarding next steps.
  5. Escalation Owner updates the case with all more external communications with the customer or partner regarding the escalation.

Communicate directly with an Escalation Owner (Non-FedRAMP only)

Once a non-FedRAMP case is escalated, you can communicate directly with the Owner of the escalation from the Escalation Feed tab on a case. The Case Feed captures the technical aspects of the case while the Escalation Feed captures the communication flow of the escalation.

IMPORTANT - Be sure to use the appropriate feed for your updates.

All access for End Users will require approval from the Partner.

Genesys provides a file transfer tool on My Support to allow customers to upload logs and other files that may be needed to help resolve Cases. Clicking the Transfer Files button within any non-closed Case launches the browser-based File Transfer Client, which provides the following features:

  • Secured data transfer over HTTPS
  • Sending multiple files concurrently
  • File transfer resume capability
  • Integrity validation
  • No file size limit

Browser settings and other system requirements

The following browsers are supported:

  • Internet Explorer v11 or later
  • Chrome v44 or later
  • Firefox v39 or later
  • Safari v8 or later on Mac OS

To use the built-in file transfer tool, the following settings must be in place:

Temporary FTP Accounts

A situation may arise when the file transfer tool on My Support cannot be used for a given transaction. To address this need, Genesys has established the Temporary FTP Account process.

For a given Case, you can ask Customer Care to create a temporary FTP account, and then use an SFTP client application of your choice to transfer the files.

SFTP clients for Windows:

  • WinSCP
  • FileZilla
  • CuteFTP
  • PSFTP
  • Core FTP
  • Fire FTP

SFTP clients for macOS:

  • FileZilla
  • ClassicFTP
  • Fire FTP
  • Secure FTP
  • Cross FTP

Unix users can use the SFTP utilities built into the operating system.

Once the temporary account is created, it will be associated with the given Case and remain active for the next 5 days (120 hours total). The login credentials along with the expiration date will be displayed in the Temporary FTP Account section of the Case details page while the temporary account is active.

Genesys Product Support will close a case for the following reasons: 

  • The proposed solution or answer provided by Product Support has been accepted by the customer 
  • The customer requests closure/cancellation of the case 
  • The Customer does not respond after three automated follow-ups, see Auto Follow-Up Process 

NOTE: All data in a closed case (including any logs or other customer files) is purged from My Support 30 days after the case is closed.

  • Average fix or work-around available 7 days after determination of root cause.

 

High Priority

The Customer is able to run the system, but the issue being reported severely impacts the overall "usability" of the system.

 

  • Average hold time < 10 minutes during business hours.
  • Average root cause analysis determined in less than 9 business days from the time all necessary troubleshooting information is provided.
  • Fix or work-around available in a future SU.

  • Fix or work-around available in a future SU.

 

Emergency Support Calls

Definition of an Emergency Support Situation

  • The primary IC server is not running or is providing no dial tone.

For sites with a switchover pair, any site running without the backup IC server for any reason other than scheduled maintenance.

  • A site is unable to perform its core mission.
  • Emergency support issues include the following examples, but are not limited to them:
    1. The customer is a Call Center whose business model is to make outbound calls. They are unable to make any outbound calls and there is no workaround. This would qualify as an emergency.
    2. The customer is an IVR only installation and the users are unable to maneuver around the IVR making it impossible to process call. This would qualify as an emergency.
    3. A site only processes emails and there is an inability to successfully queue any emails. This would qualify as an emergency.

  1. Go to Manage Profile > Manage My Admin Cases
  2. Select one of the pre-defined queries from the drop-down list to view your admin cases (My Non-Closed and My Closed Admin cases). 
  3. From the resulting list, select the Case Number for the admin case you wish to review.

Priority is defined as the customer-designated level of importance and is used as a weighting factor when defining the severity level of an incident. Severity is defined as the impact an issue has on the customer’s ability to conduct business.

  • Production Down: Causes a critical or severe impact to Business operations (for example, calls or emails cannot be completed, or critical business processes are disabled) with loss of core functionality in a live production environment. Production Down cases always require customer personnel available to work with Genesys personnel. 
    • This is our highest level of priority. 
    • NOTE: Not applicable for Genesys Engage Cloud cases. 
  • Critical: Causes a critical degradation to Business operations (e.g., calls or emails cannot be completed, or critical business processes are disabled) to the production or pre-production environment or major business application resulting in an inability to perform a critical business function. 
    • There is no workaround. 
    • Critical cases always require customer personnel available to work with Genesys personnel. 
  • High: Causes a non-critical, but significant, impact (for example, call or email processing becomes altered and degrades service quality or handling of business data) in a production or development environment that affects a production roll-out or service levels. 
    • The customer can run the system, but the issue being reported severely impacts the overall "usability" of the system.
  • Medium: Causes a moderate impact on the system (for example, minimal degradation of call or email processing) in a production or development environment. The customer’s ability to perform job functions is unaffected, but non-critical functions or procedures are unstable or hard to use. 
    • A workaround is available.
  • Low: Causes little or no impact in a production or development environment. The reported problem has limited impact on nonessential functions, is a cosmetic-related problem, documentation error, or customer requires information or assistance on the cloud service capabilities or configuration.

Scope

This Genesys Cloud Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the use of the Genesys Cloud Service, and is made part of the Genesys Cloud Terms and Conditions (or other master agreement governing Customer’s use of the Genesys Cloud Service entered into between the parties)(the “Agreement”). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this SLA and the terms of the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this SLA apply, but only to the extent of such conflict. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

Definitions

Severity - Defined as the impact an issue has on the Customer’s ability to conduct business, issue severity levels are defined below. 

Priority - Defined as the customer-designated level of importance.

Designated Contact - Customer must designate a primary contact, and at least one backup in the primary’s absence, to act as a primary liaison between Customer and the Genesys Cloud Service customer care team (the “Designated Contact”).  The Designated Contact must be knowledgeable about the Genesys Cloud Service and will participate in troubleshooting support cases.

Preliminary Troubleshooting - When a Customer becomes aware of an issue, prior to opening a support case with Genesys, the Designated Contact must perform reasonable basic troubleshooting and use best efforts to understand the Customer’s areas of responsibility, as described on Genesys’ support portal. 

Case submission - Cases for all Severity levels, except Critical cases, may be raised by Customer by phone or through the My Support portal. Issues designated by Customer as Critical Impact must be raised by telephone through the applicable Genesys customer care number found on the support portal.

If a case has been submitted through My Support and the business impact has increased to Critical Impact severity, Customer must request critical support for the case by telephone.  Submission of cases on the support portal will include the Customer name, Customer organization ID, and a description of the use and its business impact.  The Designated Contact will include any other information known by the Designated Contact that is reasonably helpful for Genesys to analyze the issue (e.g., environmental changes including network or firewall changes, new configurations, previous troubleshooting efforts, etc.).

Severity assignment - Product Support prioritizes issues based on the severity level.  When a case is opened by Customer, Customer will identify a Priority based on the descriptions in the table below. Customer’s Priority designation will be used as a factor by Genesys when defining the Severity of an issue.  The assigned Severity level for an issue may be mutually re-determined by both Genesys and Customer during the issue resolution process.  Both parties agree to act reasonably in making in such determination.

Provision of Service

Genesys will make the Genesys Cloud Service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and use commercially reasonable best efforts to provide 100% uptime, except for any unavailability caused by  circumstances beyond Genesys’ reasonable control, including failure or delay of Customer’s Internet connection, misconfiguration by Customer or any third party acting on Customer’s behalf, issues on Customer’s network, or telecommunications services contracted directly by Customer (collectively, “Uptime Exclusions”).

Severity levels

Issue severity Definition
1 – Critical impact (code red) Customer is experiencing a severe problem resulting in an inability to perform a critical business function. There is no workaround.
2 – High impact  Customer is able to perform job functions but performance is degraded or limited.
3 – Medium impact Customer’s ability to perform job functions is largely unaffected, but noncritical functions or procedures are unusable or hard to use. A workaround is available.
4 – Low impact The Genesys Cloud Service is available and operational; trivial impact to Customer’s business operations or Customer requires information or assistance on the Genesys Cloud Service capabilities or configuration.

Target initial response times

Target initial response times are based on the Severity level of each incident. The automated response received by Customer following submission of the case will not be deemed to be Genesys’ initial response. The initial response is deemed to have been made when the issue has been assigned to the appropriate Genesys personnel, and Customer receives a human response (by phone or case notes message) from Genesys acknowledging the issue. 

Genesys will use reasonable efforts to respond to issues in accordance with the table below:
