OperationalCoverage: The following on-call coverage will apply to each technical group (Network / Systems / Storage) within Enterprise Services. Engineers within each pod cross-train each other and maintain operational ownership for the customers within the pod. Additionally, they are responsible for ensuring the primary on-call engineer has the information necessary to handle 90% of the escalations. The primary on-call engineer will escalate to the secondary on-call engineer within each respective pod if they cannot resolve an issue. The primary on-call rotation moves between each engineer.

Ticketingmanagement:

CSD supported customers have their tickets routed to CSD Remedy queues for the CTIs that are supported by CSD. The spreadsheet used to manage these assignments are maintained here. Using the Sungard portal ticket aging report, each CSD teams ticket queue is managed by their respective manager. These aging reports should be reviewed at least twice per week.

IX. NotesandLimitations

Monthly TAM support (per customer) is limited to a percentage of the total operational support estimated for the managed services environment. The estimates for the amount of monthly TAM support per customer are documented and maintained here. The CSD-Enterprise Services group often exceeds the standard lead-times and SLAs contained within the Sungard Managed Services Guide. These enhancements are not guaranteed unless they are documented in the customers contract.
