Support plans & service requests

Know where to start when you need us.

Whether you need help with a covered system, a planned change or a new location, the right starting point should be easy to find. Existing clients can begin in the Client Center; new engagements start with a conversation about scope.

01 / Support plans & service requests

The principles behind the next decision.

For an existing request

Use the Client Center to reach the appropriate account and service paths. Include the affected user or location, a description of the issue and its business impact—never passwords or access keys.

For recurring coverage

ManagedPro and CoManage establish different operating relationships. Your service schedule identifies covered systems, assets, hours, response arrangements and the responsibilities your team retains.

For projects and changes

Moves, migrations, deployments and specialist improvements need deliverables, dependencies, approval points and a completion handoff. A recurring service agreement does not automatically include every project.

02 / In practice

Define the relationship before the request.

A support request benefits from a clear description of the impact: who is affected, what task is blocked, when it began and any relevant change. The team can then follow the agreed service and escalation path.

For a new requirement, begin with the business objective and affected systems. We can distinguish a covered operating task from a project, quote the appropriate work and agree how the completed change will be supported.
