3. Standard working hours

Judopay Standard Working Hours are as follows:

EU Judopay Region

08:00 – 18:00 GMT/BST Monday to Friday - London Helpdesk (excluding UK public holidays)

4. Support call procedures

The following section defines the procedure for Incidents received during Standard Working Hours as well as those received Out of Hours.

4.1 Standard working hours procedure

The following procedures have been designed to provide a framework, enabling Judopay to manage incoming support calls and routinely provide Incident updates.

1. A completed Incident form is either emailed or an Incident is entered directly via the SalesForce Ticketing System to the Client ServiceDesk (see Appendix 1 for Incident form example).  If this Incident is deemed by the Merchant to be priority PS1 - Critical (see section 8 for priority definitions) they must also call the Judopay Client Service Desk Number as detailed in Section 2.
   
2. Judopay will confirm the relevant priority level following discussions with the Merchant.
   
3. A Judopay reference number is generated and sent to the Client using the standard response template (see Appendix 2).
   
4. The Support Analyst decides whether the issue can be resolved immediately over the phone. To facilitate this decision, additional log files or information may be requested.
   
5. If theIncident is PS1 – Critical, the IT Operations Manager must be notified immediately.
   
6. In the case of a PS1 – Critical Incident, the IT Operations Manager will allocate a dedicated resource to work with the Merchant until a solution/workaround can be found.
   
7. If the Incident is not PS1 – Critical Incident, a workaround will be sought, and a defect resolution will be requested, and the issue will be resolved as part of the standard release process.
   
8. The Client Service Representative keeps the Merchant informed of progress on a regular basis.

4.2 Out of hours procedure

The following procedures have been established to ensure that all Incidents reported during an Out of Hours period are responded to in a timely and effective manner:

1. The Client will call the JudoPay Client Service Desk.
2. This call is redirected to a 24 hour on-call representative.
   However, if the Incident is not a PS1 – Critical, the Merchant may be informed that this will be dealt with as a non-critical issue during the next working day.
3. At start of business the following day, the Client Service Representative will ensure that any Incidents received overnight are entered onto the SalesForce Ticketing System (if not already done) for Incident logging and reporting purposes.
4. The support call will be acknowledged using the standard response template (see Appendix 2).
5. The support call will then be managed during Standard Working Hours according to priority.
6. In the event of a PS1 – Critical Incident support call outside Standard WorkingHours, the Merchant has access to an Out of Hours number as detailed in Section 2, which can be used to obtain immediate assistance.
7. Any support calls placed outside Standard Working Hours must be followed up with a completed Incident form or Client Service Desk ticket by the Merchant the following morning.

5. Issue tracking

Incident tracking is managed through the Salesforce Ticketing System.

The following sections describe the processes associated with logging Incidents and the escalation process which must be followed if immediate resolution is not available.

The Incident logging screen can be found in Appendix 3 with textual descriptions in the following section.

5.1 Salesforce ticketing system

• Salesforce Ticketing provides one main call logging methods. It is fully integrated into a mail workflow for those clients that wish to continue using email to manage their own issues.
• A queue is selected which will determine the Client Service Representative may respond.
• Ticket ID is allocated at this stage.
• Additional Client User emails can be included in a CC field or a BCC field list.
• Subject: Provides a brief description of the issue.
• Any file attachment(s) can be added at this stage.
• Next ticket state is set at this time (can be Active / With Client / Escalated / Closed).
• Priority is set at this time (PS1 - Critical –PS5 Service Request).

5.2 Escalation process

This must occur as follows:

Firstly:
