Users that cannot get support easily will avoid using even the best tools.  Many users complete their performance self assessments after hours and/or on weekends when many companies don’t have help that is readily available.  Another fact: typically users are bashful about calling a company’s help desk in fear that their lack of application knowledge will be relayed to their supervisors and as a result these same employees opt-out of that needed support encounter.

Fees associated with Level 1 Support

Talk-Time Fees

Talk Time is time spent addressing an issue delivered to Aasonn’s help desk as an inbound call and worked while on the phone with the user.

Wrap Time Fees

Wrap time is the time spent documenting resolution steps in a ticket system, performing any other appropriate work, or escalating an issue to an internal or Client organization while still connected to the enterprise phone switch and associated with the inbound call. This time will be captured and reported monthly by the Aasonn enterprise phone switch and will be billed per actual minute used.

Monthly Program Management Fee

The Monthly Program Management Fee is a variable fee based on complexity of the engagement and call volume. This fee are invoiced for services that covers non-ticket-specific administrative support including: ongoing, active project management, regular and as-needed communication with customer primary contacts, ongoing service and process improvements, problem resolution, account management, and domestic outbound phone calls for coordination of support issues with Client.  

Hours of Coverage

The default is 24 hour per day by 7 days per week (“24x7”). Actual coverage hours will be documented in the Service Order and Agreement with Aasonn. You may choose the default or some other custom arrangement. (Since coverage hours may impact the number of help desk resources required by Aasonn to deliver services and may impact the cost of training and implementation for your customized plan.)

Event and Support Escalations

When users contact our Help Desk for support, their request will be triaged by our professional help desk personnel and then a determination will be made as to whether the request is considered Level. 1  If the request does not qualify as a Level 1 support call then the call will be escalated according to the procedure that has been setup betweenAasonn and you.
