ManageWare is committed to resolving customer problems quickly and
professionally. Therefore, the Customer Support Team is staffed with highly skilled software engineers. This allows our customers to have quick access to someone who has the technical ability to solve any problem they might have. The infrastructure for this plan is a call management system used to facilitate the
process of tracking and solving customer questions and problems. Every service request is logged into the system and is accessible by the all customer support representatives. The 3-tiered support structure is illustrated below:
Tier I SupportTier I Application Engineers communicate with customers to gather all
appropriate technical information needed, and then attempt to find a solution. Tier I engineers are well trained and very knowledgeable of the tools and customer environments. Most of the requests are handled and ultimately resolved at this level. Tier II SupportIf it is determined that Tier I support is unable to provide a resolution to a
service request, it will be escalated to the next level, Tier II. The Tier II level support team is comprised of experienced Telelogic engineers. In general, Tier II tasks are entirely off-line in nature. Tier III SupportIf a service request is still not resolved by Tier II level support, the service
request is then coordinated with a Tier III level support engineer for resolution. The Tier III level support team typically consists of Research and Development (R&D) personnel. Assignment of Service Request PriorityWhen a customer has opened a service request and reaches a Tier I engineer,
the engineer will assess the priority of the request based on the customer's description of the problem. The priority of the service request will be recorded in the call management system. The section below describes the definitions used in identifying and assigning a
priority to the customer's reported problem. Priority 911Customer's production system is down resulting in total disruption of work
or other critical business impact. No workaround is available.
Priority 1 - HighMajor feature/function failure

Response and Resolution TargetsManageWare Customer Support will make every effort to meet the response
and resolution targets described below. ResponseWhen Customer Support receives a support request, a support representative
will provide feedback to the customer that the request has been logged and assigned to an engineer. The exact response (described below) will vary depending on the support method used by the customer, and the response time will commence as soon as the support request is received. ResolutionAn answer, fix, or a satisfactory workaround to the support request.
The time for resolution begins once the engineer understands the question and is able to reproduce the problem at hand. SolutionThe long-term resolution to the support request, problem, or question.
Solution (one or more of the following)
* All Time Frames are in working days Sunay-Thursday.
Escalation ProceduresDuring the process of resolving a customer support request, the priority
of the request may be increased and/or a higher level of authority might be notified. Service Request priority can be escalated automatically or manually.
Automatic escalation occurs when the target resolution time has been exceeded. Manual escalation occurs when it is determined that the support request involves a time or system critical issue, or an extremely complex problem To escalate an issue, please call the Customer Support and ask to speak to
one of the support representatives. Please specify the Service Request ID #, and the reason why the issue is being escalated.
