Problem Prioritization and Resolution Goals
We will attempt to resolve every issue as quickly as possible, but 
sometimes you may find that your situation is not handled as quickly 
as expected. Newpoint Technical Support Engineers prioritize (and 
assign resources to) technical issues according to the criteria below, 
to ensure that all clients receive support for their most critical issues 
as soon as possible. 
 
 
1.
Priority One technical issues receive highest priority 
attention. These issues include system crashes, and major 
functionality or performance issues that prevent you from 
successfully operating your system. Our goal is to resolve 
these issues immediately. When you discuss a Priority One 
issue with a Support Engineer, the Engineer will accept no 
further calls from other users until the issue is resolved. All 
available resources are directed to your situation. We will 
give you an estimated time to resolve your issue if we can 
not solve the problem immediately. 
2.
Priority Two issues impede minor (non-critical) functions 
in the system. Our goal is to resolve these issues as soon as 
possible, but our Engineers may have to delay assistance if 
there are open Priority One issues. We will give you an 
estimated time to resolve your issue if we can not solve the 
problem immediately. 
 
 
3.
Priority Three issues do not impede the operation of your 
system. They include tutorial services, enhancement 
requests, aesthetic defects (spelling, color scheme, etc) and 
other non-critical problems. These issues will be addressed, 
but will not have greater priority than the issues discussed 
above.
