Support and Maintenance – Description of Services
Support
Support requests may be initiated via phone, email, the Customer Web Portal (CWP) or the online support request form.
Non-emergency support is available Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, during the hours for the listed time-zones below. Listings of holidays during which non-emergency support is not available can be found by clicking your region on the world map.
Emergency support is available 24x7x365. An emergency support request may be logged only for a live Instrument Manager system where a portion has become non operative and is affecting a critical laboratory function.
Support requests are processed in the order received within a customer’s tier. A customer’s tier is determined by their total amount paid for support and maintenance in the previous twelve months. Data Innovations may elect to credit purchases of other services towards a customer’s total. A customer may increase their tier level by making up the difference between their credited spending and the desired tier threshold. The four available tiers are:
Standard
Premium
Elite
Partner
All emergency support requests are always processed before any non-emergency support requests and are prioritized by tier.

- Availability of patches, updates, enhancements, and new versions of the software covered.
