    • Support provided by Sunlight.io for the Sunlight Solution is limited to Customer or Partner queries relating to the functioning and use of the Sunlight Solution and related troubleshooting.

    Levels of Support

    The Support Levels, and associated responsibilities on Sunlight.io or Partner are as set out below

    FIRST LINE SUPPORT / LEVEL 1 SUPPORT

    Unless Sunlight.io has agreed to provide First Line Support services to Customers then Partner shall as part of First Line Support:

    Support Request Capture:

    • Providing facilities to capture Customer support requests based on the type of support contract a Customer possesses. Partner will provide at a minimum a web-based support portal and optionally a phone support facility.


    Filtering of Customer Queries:

    • Ensuring Customer has an active Subscription with a valid support contract.
    • Determining if request should be fulfilled as product support or professional services
    • Determining severity of problem e.g. critical/non-critical.



    Collection of Information:

    • Collection of Customers account number and contact details. Looking at the Customer’s previous questions for extra context.
    • Gathering sufficient initial diagnostic information from the Customer so that preliminary investigation/replication can begin.



    Investigation:

    • Basic replication and diagnosis of Customer problems.
    • Documenting exactly what has been tried by the First Line team in the attempt to replicate and diagnose the problem.

     

    Third Party Product Integration:

    • Basic attempts to integrate third party products with Sunlight products. This includes Operating System matters.
    • Documenting all steps taken in the attempt.

     


    Resolution:

    • Delivery of resolution advice to Customer.

    Escalation:

    • If all of the above is not sufficient to solve the problem, First Line teams may pass the query to Second Line

     


    SECOND LINE SUPPORT / LEVEL 2 SUPPORT

    Sunlight.io or Partner shall as part of second line support:

    Detailed investigation:

    • Using the information collected by First Line Support, verify the validity of the replication and investigation performed by First Line, correcting and adding to where necessary.
    • Have sufficient test equipment to replicate Customer problems (e.g. sufficient numbers of machines, with appropriate operating systems).
    • Writing detailed reports that describes all the steps taken to replicate/reproduce a problem in the case where a possible bug will require developer attention.

     

    Third Party Product Integration:

    • Verification of basic integration attempt from First Line
    • Assessment on whether the integration requires a consultancy engagement. For clarification – the Sunlight.io support Service provides detailed/expert advice for Sunlight.io products only. Detailed understanding of non-Sunlight.io products can be supplied by our Consultants under the terms of a Consultancy Engagement.

    Resolution:

    • Providing solution or passing bug-fixes to First Line to supply to Customer or contact direct if necessary.

     

    Escalation:

    • Ensuring relevant people are aware of nature of problem and its importance so that it can be resolved in timely fashion.

    Resolution:

    • Sunlight.io will endeavour to provide problem resolution/Bug-fixes to Second Line Support personnel who will in turn pass the information to First Line Support or the Customer in a timely fashion.

     


    Escalation:
