2. Support Targets & Priority Definitions

Support Targets or Services Level Objectives (SLOs) are based upon the priority of each inquiry or issue and can range from something that affects business operations, which is fixed swiftly, to a browser specific UI issue that does not limit functionality.  Our Support Targets are the same for all customers, unless otherwise stated in your contract. We staff our operations with the objective of meeting the following target response and resolution times:

Target Description Response Time Resolution
Critical (P1)
  • Subscription service application is down.
  • Security of data has been compromised
30 mins 3 hrs
High (P2)
  • Critical business operation is impacted due to serious performance degradation
  • Critical business operation is impacted due to persistent loss of a feature
3 hrs 12 hrs
Medium (P3)
  • Critical business operation is impacted due to intermittent performance degradation
  • Critical business operation is impacted due to unscalable or inconvenient workaround to use a feature
8 business hrs Up to 6 weeks

(varies by Product, complexity and type of resolution needed)

Low (P4)
  • Non–critical functionality is unavailable
  • Single customer is impacted
  • Exception case with suitable workaround
48 business hrs Up to 12 weeks

(varies by Product, complexity and type of resolution needed)

Exceptions of Note
  • Simple ‘How Do I’ Support Inquiry – up to 1 Business Day
  • Complex Support Inquiries and Changes – up to 5 Business Days
    • Consists of questions pertaining to advanced functionality including transfer of data, data variances within the platform or settings not configured to a customer’s preference.
  • RFI (Request for Information) – up to 14 Business Days
    • This entails any information requested that is outside normal reporting capabilities. Please reference Section 5. Data/Storage Management Security, for limitations on historical data archive. Fees will apply.
  • Macromatix turnarounds for Priority-2 defects
    • Fixes are highly dependent on additional complexities, including customer testing and deployment coordination. Due to this, Priority-2 code defects will vary on resolution time.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Scheduled Maintenance

Fourth conducts regular maintenance for all services. Our practice is to advise customers of scheduled maintenance at least two weeks whenever feasible. Services may be unavailable during scheduled maintenance windows.

3.2. Unplanned or Emergency Maintenance

Services may be unavailable if it becomes necessary for Fourth to conduct unplanned or emergency maintenance to address a critical issue. Where possible, we will notify our customers prior to any unplanned or emergency maintenance that falls outside if scheduled maintenance windows. Notifications of unplanned or emergency maintenance will be delivered via the Fourth Status Page.

4. Data Security

Please visit our Hosting and Data Security page for information about Fourth’s Hosting and Data Security Practices.

5. Mobile Application

Fourth recommends that mobile app users verify that they are using the most current version. Mobile applications are updated regularly to release improvements and feature enhancements, and to address minor bug fixes. Any user experiencing technical issues on an older version of the application will be asked to upgrade to the current version.
