How can we help?

A Service Level Agreement, commonly called an SLA, defines specific service commitments between a provider and a customer. In the context of Polyosync, an SLA may establish measurable support obligations associated with a particular subscription or Enterprise agreement. The exact commitments depend on the terms applicable to the organization. What might an SLA define? Depending on the agreement, an SLA may address: 1. Support response commitments. 2. Severity or priority classifications. 3. Applicable support hours. 4. Escalation procedures. 5. Responsibilities of the customer and provider. 6. Methods for measuring service performance. 7. Exceptions or exclusions. 8. Other agreed operational conditions. Not every SLA contains every element listed above. What is a response-time commitment? A response-time commitment specifies when an initial qualifying response should be provided after a support request meets the conditions defined by the agreement. It does not automatically mean that the underlying problem must be fully resolved within that period. What is a resolution-time commitment? A resolution-time commitment concerns the period within which an issue must be resolved, where such a commitment has been expressly agreed. Resolution commitments are separate from response commitments and should not be assumed. Does every Polyosync account have a contractual SLA? Not necessarily. Some accounts may operate under standard support conditions without a separately negotiated SLA. Enterprise agreements may define customized service levels. Are SLA commitments identical for every issue? Not necessarily. An agreement may distinguish between different incident severities or categories. For example, a business-critical outage may be treated differently from a minor interface issue. Where can I find my SLA? Review the relevant agreement or support documentation associated with your account. If your organization has an Enterprise contract, the applicable SLA terms should be interpreted together with that agreement. Recommended practice Always distinguish between general support availability and a legally or contractually defined service-level commitment.
