Severity levels are determined during a mutual discussion by the client and support analyst, based on the business impact of the issue. If a client designated a problem as a Severity 1, IBM will work on it 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, providing the client is also available to work during those hours. Severity 1 Critical Impact/System Down: Business critical software component is inoperable or critical interface has failed. This usually applies to a production environment and indicates you are unable to use the program resulting in a critical impact on operations. This condition requires an immediate solution. Customer and the IBM support representative will work together to analyze the symptoms and develop a plan for resolution. Severity 2 Significant business impact: A software component is severely restricted in its use or you are in jeopardy of missing business deadlines because of problems with a new application rollout. The IBM support representative may ask you for various logs or other diagnostic data from your server. Send to appropriate support team. IBM’s support technicians will work with you to identify the correct action needed to fix your problem. Severity 3 Some business impact: Indicates the program is usable with less significant features (not critical to operations) unavailable. Problem Solved? Progress being made? Case closed. Yes Yes No Severity 4 Minimal business impact: A non-critical software component is malfunctioning, causing minimal impact, or a non-technical request is made. No No NOTE: If you need escalation, call 1-800-IBM-SERV (with your case number and a case history) and ask for the Duty Manager.
