RESONATE TECHNICAL SUPPORT: Ensuring Uptime and Performance of Business-Critical Applications

Resonate is committed to providing customers with technical support expertise to help ensure the uptime and performance of their business-critical applications. To accommodate our customers' needs, we offer two options for Resonate Technical Support: Standard 24x7 Support and Premier On-Site Support.

STANDARD 24X7 SUPPORT

With our Standard 24x7 Support, customers receive the following:

Telephone Support

24x7 telephone support with live call pick-up on weekdays from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pacific Time, excluding Resonate holidays. Outside of these hours, a Resonate Technical Support Engineer will be paged and will respond within thirty minutes.

Email Support

During business hours, customers can interact with our Technical Support Engineers via . This is useful for low priority cases or for sending in large amounts of data such as log files, configuration files, etc.

Web Support

Our Web site offers useful information and tools aimed at helping customers administer their Resonate deployment.

  • Downloads — Download and install updated software.
  • Documentation — Download and read current user guides and release notes.
  • Support Bulletins — Receive information about interesting workarounds discovered by our Support Engineers.
  • Knowledgebase — Search our document repository for troubleshooting information.
  • "My Support Cases" — Create, view and update your current cases through the web.
  • Software Updates — Customers receive access to all software modifications designated by Resonate as bug fixes, patches, or updates, and updates to the relevant documentation.

PREMIER ON-SITE SUPPORT

Customers can receive a wealth of additional services with Resonate's Premier On-Site Technical Support. In addition to the above Standard 24x7 Support features, Premier On-Site Support provides:

On-Site Support

Customers may request an on-site Resonate representative be dispatched to their site to troubleshoot an existing problem. The Resonate representative will arrive on-site within four hours of escalation by the Resonate Technical Support Center (or within 48 hours when outside of the United States). The Resonate representative will remain on-site until the issue has been resolved. Travel and expenses are billed separately at actual cost.

Assigned Phone Support

To ensure consistent levels of support, two Named Support Engineers (NSE) will be assigned to the customer company.

  • Contacting Technical Support — When contacting Technical Support during business hours, customers will be put directly in touch with their NSE. Customers will also be given direct numbers of each NSE for even faster response times.
  • New releases — NSEs will help assess any new features or technology supported in the new release, and how it will fit into the customer's environment. We will make recommendations for any upgrades that may be planned.
  • Stand-by — When it comes time to upgrade a site, a customer may choose to put their NSEs on stand-by. The customer will then be able to directly contact their NSEs after hours for technical support. The times for stand-by will be negotiated on an "as needed" basis.
  • Monthly call — NSEs will contact customers monthly to discuss the status of their Resonate deployment. Any issues can be addressed immediately and will be appropriately logged. Any product feedback will be sent to the appropriate team at Resonate headquarters and tracked. This ongoing communication allows our teams to build relationships and to better understand a customer's environment.
  • Bug fixes — Customers will be kept up-to-date on reported bugs that directly affect their site. If a reported bug may adversely affect a customer's site, the case will be resolved within our negotiated service levels (refer to the End-User License Agreement for more information on service levels).
  • New patches — As new patches are released, NSEs will contact customers to assess the implications for their Resonate deployment.

Reporting

Monthly reports will be distributed to a customer detailing any activity during the previous one month time period. If there are any active cases, their status will be provided with a detailed plan of action for a successful and timely resolution.
