Support
Support matrix - Severity Level – Incident Management

Severity Level 1

Refers to issues which have a critical business impact on the Account Holder. Severity Level 1 means that the Account Holder is not able to use the BOP for its intended purpose, the BOP is unavailable or non-responsive; there is data loss or corruption, or critical functionality is not available or not working correctly. (For the avoidance of doubt and with reference to Section 2.13. in the main agreement, it is specifically noted that it is conditional for any issue to be categorized as a Severity Level 1 – 3 issue that the Account Holder is duly connected to the Access Point).

Severity Level 2

Refers to issues that have a significant business impact on the Account Holder. Severity 2 means that the BOP is functioning with limited capability or is unstable with interruptions; the BOP is operating, but its use is severely restricted; error or failure leading to severely degraded software performance or functionality unavailable.

Severity Level 3

Refers to issues which have a small or no business impact on the Account Holder. BOP features are unavailable, but workarounds exist, and the majority of the BOP functions are still useable: minor function/feature failures that the Account Holder can easily circumvent or avoid. Severity Level 3 issues may have the following characteristics: error message with workaround, minimal performance degradation, incorrect product behaviour with minor impact, etc.
