The Severity of an Incident determines the impact it has on the customer's business and therefore the urgency of solving an Incident of certain impact.

Important: Please note that Open-Xchange's response time depends on both the Severity and the Service Level Agreement between the customer and Open-Xchange.

If all of the above information has been provided a confirmation mail is sent from Open-Xchange's ticket system which includes the ticket number for that incident.

Open-Xchange Severity:

Severity 1 – High

Shall mean Incidents that are defined as a catastrophic outage and/or have a critical impact on the customer's ability to conduct business. The customer cannot produce. The customer's system, application, or option is down and no procedural workaround exists.

Severity 2 - Medium

Shall mean Incidents that are defined as high-impact problems. The customer's operation is disrupted, but there is some capacity to produce. The problem may require a fix prior to the next release for the current customer system.

Severity 3 - Low

Shall mean Incidents which involve partial, non-critical functionality loss, one which impairs some operations, but allows the customer to continue to operate. This may be a minor issue with limited loss or no loss of functionality or impact to the customer's operation. This includes but is not limited to documentation and translation errors.

Severity 4 - Trivial

Shall mean general usage questions, recommendations for product enhancements or modifications, and calls that are passed to the Parties for informational purposes.
