Response & resolution targets

Priority is assigned by nFinite IT based on business impact — not by the urgency of the request. Targets apply to SLA clients during business hours.

Priority Definition Example Response Resolution
● Critical Full outage — business completely stopped Server down, network failure, security breach 30 min 4 hours
● High Major disruption, limited workaround Email down, multiple users cannot work 1 hour 8 hours
● Medium Single user or non-critical system affected One user email issue, slow performance 4 hours 1 business day
● Low Minor, non-urgent or cosmetic Password reset, software query, how-to 1 business day 3 business days

Response = acknowledgement and work commencement. Resolution times may vary based on complexity, third-party dependencies, or parts availability.

SLA vs Ad-Hoc clients

Your level of service coverage determines how quickly your requests are prioritised and resolved.

SLA Contract Clients
  • Guaranteed response and resolution per priority level
  • Priority queue — served before ad-hoc clients
  • Proactive monitoring and monthly reporting
  • Dedicated IT Manager oversight on all tickets
  • Formal escalation path and quarterly service reviews
Ad-Hoc / Non-SLA Clients
  • Best-effort support during business hours
  • Attended to after all SLA client tickets are resolved
  • No guaranteed response or resolution timeframes
  • Eligible to upgrade to an SLA contract at any time

Support vs project work

SLA support covers break-fix, troubleshooting, and maintenance within your contracted scope. The following require a separate quote before work commences.

📋
Block hours do not apply to project work
Unless specifically agreed in writing. A written quote will always be provided before project work begins.

Workshop turnaround times

Devices requiring workshop repair or assessment. Timelines are dependent on hardware availability, parts lead times, and diagnostic complexity.

SLA Contract Clients
24–48 hrs
Subject to hardware and parts availability. Priority over ad-hoc clients.
Ad-Hoc / Non-SLA Clients
48–72 hrs
Attended to after SLA workshop jobs are cleared. Subject to parts availability.

Escalation path

If your issue is not progressing as expected, or you are dissatisfied with the response, use the path below. Escalation does not change priority classification.

1
Tier 1
Assigned Technician
First point of contact for all tickets.
Via portal or official support channels
2
Tier 2
IT Manager
SLA target missed or senior oversight required.
Request escalation via portal ticket note
3
Tier 3
Management
Repeated SLA failures, unresolved disputes, or major incidents.
📧 escalations@nsupport.co.za — include your ticket reference
Escalating a ticket does not change its priority classification. Priority remains determined by business impact as defined in Section 2.
