Calls received by JAYBEE are classified into one of three different categories:

• Category 1 - SOS Calls:  Where the application is not working on ALL workstations, whereas other applications are running as usual.
• Category 2 - Operational Problems:  Where the application is operating partially but is fully functioning on at least one workstation.
• Category 3 - General Enquires and/or Bug Reporting:  Where the problem experienced has minimal or no impact on the application’s main operation. This usually pertains to general questions, or matters relating to updating the system to the latest version.

Support Procedure - Category 1:

1. JAYBEE Support Agent will attempt to determine the nature of the problem by discussing the issue with the caller who must be the ISM of the site. Please note that it will not be possible to provide support if the caller is not the Information Systems Manager (ISM) or an individual highly familiar and authorized to handle network system operation.
2. It will usually be necessary for the JAYBEE Support Agent to connect remotely to the system via pcAnywhere, either over dialup modem or IPSEC connection.

4. Once the Support Agent has access to the hotel’s system, it will not be necessary for the ISM to remain physically stationed at the system unless specifically requested to do so by the Support Agent. It is required that the ISM be available to return to the system should he be asked to do so by the Support Agent.  As such, she/he should ensure that the Support Agent has her/his contact number, and should be available on this number at all times until such time as the problem has been resolved.
5. In the event that contact is required to third party providers of systems interfaced to, or working with the application, the ISM should facilitate and arrange this contact.
6. The Support Agent will continue to work on the system, and may call upon the ISM and/or the user to assist her/him in her/his work as required.  Numerous calls may be required during the support session.  The JAYBEE Support Agent is committed to stay in touch until the problem's root has been identified and resolved, even if the solution is a temporary one and to do so as soon as possible.
7. Once the problem has been resolved, the JAYBEE Support Agent will return the system to a working state, and will advise the ISM and the user of this fact.  She/he will also advise on the cause of the problem and, if appropriate, how it may be possible to avoid the problem recurring in the future.
