Maintenance Packages

Protect Your Investment

We have maintenance options available for either 24×7 or 8×5 support.

Whether it’s emergency on-site support or simple administrative changes there are no requirements too big nor small.

Maintenance Overview

All of our maintenance contracts are designed to make your life easier and assure you guaranteed SLA (service level agreement) responses for service impacting outages and priority queuing for non-critical MAC (moves, adds and changes).

VIVE can provide you with the manufacturer’s maintenance contract or a tailored plan that speaks to your needs and business demands.

Some of our clients have existing contracts or prefer writing their maintenance with the manufacturer, in those cases VIVE is prepared to assist you in getting those contracts initiated.

Maintenance Features

With any Vive maintenance plan you can expect a full suite of support services to fix issues of any scope.

Response Time

Our response time is related to the scope to of the issue.  Non priority administrative issues are generally worked by our tier 2 engineers while service effecting issue are bumped to ‘high priority’ to our team of tier 3 /4 engineers

 

 

Target Work Effort

Generally most issues are resolved soon after they come into the ticketing system.  In the event of a high priority issue Tier 4 engineers will be allocated the tickets in order to minimize impact.

 

Communication Plan

Every service issue is different. We take the size of the issue, the nature of work being done, and even the client’s unique preferences into account as we determine which type of communication plan is needed for a complete resolution.

Impact

Service effecting issues will be bumped up in the queue in order to recive the attention they need while routine administrative changes will be done by our team within the guidleines of your SLA agreement.
