Support

Regardless of deployment model, the GRAX Support team provides app-level support to all customers as part of their contract. This support is intended to resolve product failures, close knowledge gaps, and ensure your success as you adopt the product. Support SLAs depend on the severity of the reported issue. A first response to customer issues is sent within the applicable SLA time frame. In this context, a “First Response” means an acknowledgment to the customer that the support request has been received by the support team.

Support availability is during non-US holiday business hours, Monday through Friday (9-5 EST).

Users can submit cases over the in-app support form or via email. GRAX uses commercially reasonable efforts to respond to and resolve each case. Actual resolution time depends on the nature of the case and the resolution. A resolution may consist of a fix, workaround, or other solution in GRAX's reasonable determination.

How to Get Help

Supported Requests

  • Repeated backup failures
  • Archive failures
  • Restore failures
  • Data discrepancies
  • Questions about new features
  • Issues managing permissions
  • Application outage troubleshooting
  • Contractual clarifications

The GRAX Support team also assists you throughout the lifetime of your GRAX contract to ensure you remain up to date with latest releases. This means they help update both the GRAX Managed Package in Salesforce as well as the GRAX backend if so allowed/requested/needed. They also contact you occasionally about deprecations, best practices, or known issues.

Unsupported Requests

Whether you are installed on the standard GRAX AWS Marketplace templates or custom built your own GRAX infrastructure, GRAX won't support any of the infrastructure components directly. Network failures, domain registration lapses, storage capacity issues, component failures, and improper configuration of the compute resources which prevent software operation aren't the responsibility of GRAX.

If a support ticket is submitted and the issue is decidedly outside the GRAX app itself, GRAX support relays the necessary information. At this point, it's your team's responsibility to resolve the underlying infrastructure issues.

Maintenance

GRAX maintenance includes product upgrades and updates as needed. During the upgrade/update process GRAX Technical Support is available for any questions or concerns. If there is a new feature or UI/UX component change, training is provided through live demos or documentation.

Monitoring

GRAX shall use such measurement and monitoring tools and procedures as are required to properly measure and report performance of the Cloud Services against the applicable Service Levels. GRAX may use its reasonable discretion in selecting the tools and procedures used in measuring and monitoring performance, provided such tools and procedures sufficiently enable GRAX's compliance with the above.
