Datalink aim to provide a timely turnaround on each and every logged support ticket. In order to do this, service levels are based on the severity of the issue. The acronym used for this in the IT sector is SLA.
When emailing our service desk, your enquiry will be initially set to a "Service Request" severity with 1 business day turnaround. If you need more urgent turnaround, then please use the Service Desk Portal or our 24x7 Paging Service (charges may apply). |
