time

Response times vary by the following Authorized User defined severity levels:
 Severity Level 1 (Critical) – There is an issue that makes a critical application totally unusable. Your business is
severely impacted.
 Severity Level 2 (Serious) – There is an issue that makes a portion of a solution’s key functionality highly unstable
and/or unusable. Your business is significantly impacted.
 Severity Level 3 (Standard) – There is an issue that needs to be resolved, but primary functionality to critical and
key solutions is not impaired. You have a low impact to your overall business.
