CollabNet Escalation Process

Escalations in CollabNet Support process are classified into two types:

• Technical Escalation - The Solution provided is not satisfactory or the issue requires a senior resource to provide faster and more comprehensive updates.
• Management Escalation - Case reported needs to have a higher priority and quicker resolution.

Technical Escalation

1. Silver customers can use our Web-based case management tool to escalate the case. Customers can add comments to the issue requesting an escalation, along with the reason.
2. Gold customers, in addition to Option 1, can also use our Support hotline number and request the Support agent to escalate the case to a Senior Support Engineer.
3. Platinum customers, in addition to options 1 and 2, receive custom escalation options for the highest level of attention.

Technical escalation cases are handled with the same response time SLA as per the priority chosen.

Management Escalation

Customers have the following options to escalate cases:

• The primary management escalation path is through the CollabNet Customer Satisfaction Manager. Notify your Customer Satisfaction Manager any time you are unhappy with any aspect of your support experience. Email: .
• If you want to discuss support processes, explore options for improving your support experience, or organize an account review, please email .

Customers are encouraged to use any combination of the above support escalation processes to drive the appropriate response. Any questions can be directed to any member of your account team. The continual improvement of the customer support experience is a collaborative effort between CollabNet and our customers.

Other Options

• Your Sales Representative, Technical Account Manager or Personal Support admin can also escalate issues on your behalf within CollabNet

Satisfaction Surveys

Every time you close an issue related to a CollabNet Product, CollabNet sends you a survey. The CollabNet Customer Satisfaction manager reviews the returned survey and, based on a set of QA processes, selects cases to follow up via phone. You can take full advantage of this opportunity by providing feedback whether good, bad, or neutral.

Your feedback will help us to improvise the CollabNet Support experience.
