Break-Fix or IMAC?
2 types of Incidents that are logged in the Call Centre:

Break-Fix

These incidents indicate normal maintenance issues where


something has ‘broken’ and needs ‘fixing’

IMACS

These incidents are Installations, Moves And Changes

Managed Services Training


Typically an appointment will be required as the work will be
planned.

8
Tiered Customer Plan
There are 3 ‘Tiers’ of customer:

Tier 1 (short term visit) – either a new customer whose activities


are managed on SCC systems or one who is considered by the
Leadership Team to be experiencing severe service issues.
Customers will stay in this tier until a level of stability is achieved,
these customers will then transfer to tier 2 (the place to be)

Tier 2 (the place to be) – either strategic and/or high activity


volume whose activities are managed on SCC systems with service
stability

Managed Services Training


Tier 3 - medium to low activity volume customers whose activities
are managed on SCC systems

Our aspiration is to completely remove the necessity for tier 1

9
Severity

We also have 4 ‘Severity’ levels

Severity 1 – Incident is logged with an SLA of 0-4hrs

Severity 2 – Incident is logged with an SLA of 4-8hrs

Severity 3 – Incident is logged with an SLA of 8hrs+

Managed Services Training


Severity 4 – IMAC (e.g. SLA of 16HRF, 24HRF, 48HRF)
Chargeable Incidents
