Forms of support

1  Small updates: priority access to driver updates, fixes, and add-ons delivered between major software updates.

2   Remote session: Open-E Engineers access your server remotely to fix issues.

 

Availability

3  24/7 Support: The dedicated 24-hour technical assistance number allows for the reporting of up to 5 incidents per support year. Once the support ticket is received, we will respond within 4 hours. However, unlimited tickets can still be reported using other forms of support (email, phone, ticket request system). These regular tickets are resolved only during business hours. It’s up to the client to decide how important the ticket is and what reporting tool should be used.

Note! Open-E support addresses Severity Level 1 as highest priority. Normally Open-E's response time is 1-2 hours after receiving an email or phone ticket. Please note that during high call volumes, the response time may be extended. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work diligently to address your concerns.
