INCIDENT MANAGEMENT
It is understood between Customer and Provider that most of the incidents with respect to the cloud print management application, tenants, users and devices ("Incidents") should be handled and resolved by Customer support personnel ("Provider Support Personnel") and Customer support personnel ("Customer Support Personnel"). In order to ensure an efficient Incident handling the following procedure shall apply:
1. A user experiences an Incident (e.g. the document has not been printed) and calls Customer Support Personnel;
2. Customer Support Personnel diagnoses the Incident based on actual knowledge and either (i) solves it or (ii) classifies it for further levels of support as – software related Incidents, MFP related Incident or Incident caused by broken hardware or other Incidents;
3. The Customer Support Personnel - if unable to solve the Incident locally - creates an Incident ticket and informs Provider Support Personnel about the Incident;
