Definitions Code Red High Medium Low Response Time Operational ability to receive, route, and deliver Customer purchased interaction services is down, severely degraded or major components of the service are not operational and work cannot reasonably continue for greater than 10% of the minimum monthly agent commitment. Non-business critical features of CaaS Services are impaired or non-functional. (Example: Interaction Supervisor, Interaction Recorder). Non-disabling or cosmetic errors with little or no impact on the CaaS Services. Requests for information on CaaS Services, Policies, Processes, or Procedures from Supplier by members of Customer s business, management, or technical staff teams. Response time is measured as the time a customer support request (phone, email, chat, ticket, etc.) enters the Interactive Intelligence service management system to the time the customer support request is acknowledged and assigned to a CaaS Support representative within the Interactive Intelligence service management system. Custom Handlers Custom Handlers are defined as any handlers not part of the standard Customer Interaction Center (CIC) offering. Custom Handlers include customization points, custom subroutines, event-initiated handlers, and timer-initiated handlers. Restrictions Customers, partners, and Interactive Intelligence are not permitted to publish modified CIC system handlers. Custom handlers may interact with system handlers only at defined customization/integration points. Custom handlers may be triggered by custom client buttons or events outside of CIC. As a rule, each custom handler will not be evaluated as a part of any SU upgrade but will be republished as a part of the SU upgrade. In the unlikely event the functionality of the custom handler is compromised as a result of the SU upgrade, outage credits will not apply. Outage credits will also not apply to any service outage attributed to a custom handler. Any services work to upgrade custom handlers to the next CIC Release or SU will be at the customer s expense.
