Support options and usage
XStore provides support services through 3 methods:
1. Per-incident / once-off
Under this method, XStore does not guarantee a response time but we try to service queries within 48 hrs. This method is suitable for clients who do not require priority support. Scheduled appointments are not guaranteed.
2. SLA/Service Level Agreement
Service Level Agreements provide some form of priority/guaranteed response to support queries. Preventative maintenance tasks and other consulting functions can also be included in Service Level Agreements. Project tasks are typically not included in SLA agreements.
The exact coverage, services, response times, contact details and scheduled tasks are listed in the specific agreement. SLAs can be tailored per client as required.
3. Project Support
We offer support based on projects with associated pricing.
