What are Service Levels?

Service Levels are generally associated with a Service Level Agreement (SLA). They are an agreement between a service provider (Coviu) and a customer. The SLA will outline thresholds and categorisations for various service levels. These may include software availability thresholds, responsibilities of both parties and timeframes for resolutions of incidents.

What is an Incident?

An Incident is defined as any event that may disrupt the use of the product or service being provided. The SLA should offer categorisations for incidents e.g:

Does the incident affect one customer or a segment of customers or all customers?
Does the incident stop all usage of the software or a segment of the software?
Is there a temporary workaround available?

Who is responsible for what?

As part of your Enterprise agreement, we separate responsibility for support into four levels, and would look to share some of those responsibilities:

Level 1 and 2 Support: Provided by the Enterprise Customer e.g. your Application Manager, your Telehealth Coordinator or your IT Service Desk etc.
Level 3 and 4 Support: Provided by Coviu.

To that end, we separate our support levels into these categories:

Level 1: Basic User Support	Level 2: Basic Technical Support	Level 3: Advanced Technical Support	Level 4: Service Outage
e.g. Problems with usernames and passwords	e.g. Help with a connection problem	e.g. Analyse connection problems and provide a solution	e.g. Website down
Software usage issues (Browser caches, updates, OS etc)	Help with a hardware problem (cannot choose correct camera, mic, speakers etc)	Analyse firewall problems and provide a solution	Connections can't be established
Payment issues	Help with bandwidth issues	Analyse hardware issues and provide a solution	Functionality is offline

Hours of Support Provision and Response Times

Our standard hours of support are:

9am and 5pm Brisbane, Australia time (“business hours”).

In addition, 24/7 incident management for Level 4 Service Outages will be provided according to the below table:

Response Actions

Coviu follows an Incident Management process when an Incident has been identified. At a high level, this includes:

Activation of a range of Coviu staff to resolve the Incident.
Communications to customers to acknowledge the Incident and offer any workarounds.
Coviu may apply a notification banner to the login screen and dashboard to alert Users to an known incident (see screen capture below).
Implementation and rollout of a fix.
Communication to customers of the resolution.
Closure of the Incident.

Can I negotiate on the Service Levels?

In short, yes.

If you are considering an "Enterprise" agreement with Coviu, we will discuss your operational requirements against the standard levels and then consider any changes required. It may mean your agreement with us has specific service levels.
