Service Delivery Process
When issues arise, the third party's named contact(s) will contact Name On The Net by their preferred medium offering a clear
explanation of the incident which requires resolution and classify the impact it is having on business. The types of incident can be broken down into the following:
- Emergency - Issues where the Third parties main operations cannot be carried out
- Impacting Business - Impacting business negatively
- Cosmetic - Business process unhindered
The actual time frames involved during the incident managmenet process will be determined by the level of support taken out by the third pary.
In situations where the issue cannot be immediately resolved, first line support will provide an
indication of fix time. If the issue is not resolved within this timeframe then the issue will be
escalated to a resident consultant who will regularly liaise with the third party until the issue is
resolved.
Escalation
Upon successful completion of contract signing Name On The Net will assign a consultant who will handle your
support requirements. In the event of issues needing escalation, your support consultant must be informed
of the reasons why the issue needs escalation.
User Responsibilities
The third party is responsible for completing a systems questionnaire upon the sign off of a support contact.
Details of operating system, installed JVM(s) and Tomcat versions must be provided. Modifications to infrastructure
during the time of the contract must be relayed on to Name On The Net. Failure to do so may lead to a
deterioration in service.
When raising an incident, the Third pary is reponsible for providing sufficient details for Name On The Net
to identity the problem, failure to do so may lead to increased resolution times.
Remote Support
Under the discretion of the third party Name On The Net can provide remote support using a secure channel
(SSH / Windows Remote Terminal) allowing Name On The Net support consultants to remotely manage the
third party's server. Name On The Net
will agree to sign any required confidentiality agreement / non disclosure agreement. Name On The Net accept
no responsibilty for any breaches of security which may arise from allowing remote access.
