Appendix D Priority Response

The following matrix provides an example only of Priority levels, Response times and Target Resolution times.

Priority Definition 1 The loss of one or more critical components of a system resulting in a major impact on the Clients business. Typically a whole application, Operating System or server would be unavailable. The problem would have a high visibility to the Client and their business operations, with no work around possible. The loss of one or more critical components of a system resulting in serious degradation of services to Clients business. Priority 2 incidents are usually characterised by: The client cannot work as normal but a bypass is available The client is not yet experiencing serious disruptions, however, there is a potential to do so if the request is not solved. Minor impact on service delivery. A non-critical part of an application, Operating system or server is affected by the problem. The problem has a moderate visibility to the client and a low impact on their business operations. Normal fault calls fall into this category. This is the default priority level assigned to faults. Note: All calls logged by fax or email automatically become Priority 3 or lower. Fault has little or no operational impact. Included in this area are requests for information.

Response times 15 minutes

Target Resolution time 80% in 4 hours
