What is the definition of “desktop support”?

Cloud Services Depot defines “desktop support” as: The complete troubleshooting of an issue reported by an end-user until an on-site visit is required or the issue must be escalated to the reseller (or NOC Services) due to one of the following reasons: (a) The issue appears to be caused by a system/network/service that is not accessible by the Help Desk or the end-user. (b) The issue appears to be caused by a system/network/service that is not supported by the Help Desk. (c) The issue involves a non-supported application and “best effort” services have been delivered.

What happens if my account reaches zero minutes remaining during a support call?

If your account reaches zero minutes during a call, the help desk agent will continue supporting the user until the call reaches its natural conclusion. We do not cut off users or phone calls due to low or zero remaining minutes.

If I purchase per-minute help desk services, how long will an agent stay on the phone to solve the problem?

By default, our agents will attempt to fix the issue for approximately 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the agent will gracefully end the call and escalate the ticket according to the pre-defined escalation policy. Resellers can modify this value as needed. In the case when an agent is in the process of deploying a repair, the agent will stay on the phone with the user until the repair is complete.

What if I need additional help with my account setup?

Cloud Services Depot provides Getting Started Guides for all services. If you need additional assistance or have questions about the service, please contact your account manager or call tech support 24x7 at 866-343-2588.

How is the Per-User Help Desk Service billed?

Resellers are invoiced for the maximum number of users used during the billing period.

Is the Per-Seat Help Desk Service really unlimited?
