SCOPE OF SERVICE
Focus EduVation technical support is intended to assist, troubleshoot, and resolve specific issues resulting from the use of Focus EduVation products on a supported platform that meets the technical pre-requisites set by Focus EduVation. Problems arising from a need for training, implementation services, and customization (scripting) are not generally included with technical support. They may be referred to our professional services and technical training organizations to contract for the services appropriate to the need.
Technical Support for supported products is available via a variety of contact methods, which include the Focus EduVation Knowledgebase, online support request, and telephone support during scheduled support hours for current software versions. The ongoing support status information for each product can be found on each of the product landing pages under “Version Support.” Technical support reserves the right to request that a customer upgrades to the current version to resolve a known problem or technical issue. The provision of technical support does not imply that Focus EduVation will fix software defects or make changes to the software.
ESCALATION: ISSUE ESCALATION AND REQUESTS
Focus EduVation technical escalations are managed through the technical support engineer working on the case. The technical support engineer can engage the appropriate support resources such as senior support, development, product management, quality engineering, and Technical Support management while continuing to interface with the customer effectively. This time-proven approach has yielded the best results from a customer perspective by providing consistent and accurate accounts of the situation to management and customers and ultimately minimizing the overall resolution time cycle.
Customers may request an escalation at any time for either technical or customer service reasons by sending an email to support@focusEduVation.com. Upon receipt of your request, the support engineer working the case, the Technical Team Lead, and the appropriate management staff will be notified. During regular business hours, you should receive a reply in one (1) hour or less.
