Introducing an Industry First: TTE SLA - Time to Engineer
Microsoft and even some partners can use SLAs to offer fantastic response times, either with auto-responders or with basic support. At DCG, we’re adding an all-new SLA to our offering. The “Time to Engineer” SLA. Meaning you have a price guarantee on how fast you be connected to a specialist engineer to solve your problem. Move beyond just getting someone generic. Start tracking how fast you can get on the phone with someone who knows your issue. It’s all part of our First Problem Resolution philosophy for how we operate Premier Support.
Severity and Responsiveness - How DCG Premier Support Works
Initial Response Time (IRT) is the time period from when you submit (call, online, or email) your support request until a Dynamic Consultants Group Microsoft Support Engineer contacts you and starts working on your support request. The Initial Response Time will vary with customers with both the support plan and the Business Impact of the request (also known as Severity). Severity and our definition of response can be found below.
