Support response times
Dependent on severity. Datacenta’s support is based on the principle that your communication will be dealt with by an Engineer, not a Call Centre Agent (we don’t have them). Whether your chosen route is via email or telephone, you contact our Customer Support to provide a summary of the Incident, (or Service/Change Request as the case may be). The Engineer then captures the request in a “ticket” in our Service Management System (marking the point at which “the clock starts ticking”), and generates a return e-mail outlining the perceived initial scope of the matter to be investigated.
