Event Resolution

Depending on the severity indicated by the ticket logger, the resolution is estimated within the time indicated. Resolution means that the problem has been diagnosed and a solution has been recommended and if necessary implemented by the Ellipse Solutions technical team.

Upon initial creation of a Help Desk event the Ellipse Solutions team will work directly with the Customer’s users and staff to document all information regarding the specific issue. This includes, where possible, understanding the steps necessary to recreate the issue.

Documentation

The following information will be documented by Ellipse Solutions:

All contacts and activities with the Customer related to Help Desk tickets
All resolutions will be stored in a searchable database for future reference
