Support Escalations

The support representative handling your case is Tier 1. Tier 2 would be the senior support staff, including supervisors. Tier 3 is the developers. Tier 1 will engage higher tiers for assistance as necessary; however, the main point of contact for that case will still be the Tier 1 representative.

If you are faced with a highly critical issue, or are unsatisfied with the level of support you are receiving - request an escalation with your support representative. We will have Tier 2 provide assistance with the case, and if necessary, transfer the case to another representative.
