Escalation Timeframes
Xerox Service and Support personnel are trained to respond with an appropriate level of
urgency, based on the level of severity of your problem. Escalation from a Level 1 CSR to either
onsite CSE dispatch, or to Level 2 Remote Support Engineer for next-level telephone support
occurs immediately once the CSR has determined that their own knowledge and skill levels or
the information in the global knowledgebase cannot resolve your problem. Also, using the
Customer Communication Process described above, you can request more immediate
escalation.
The same is true for onsite problem resolution by your CSE. Once the CSE determines that
additional technical support is needed to resolve your problem, he or she will immediately
contact a local Product Technical Specialist, or call the Technical Support Center for help from
a Remote Support Engineer.
For technical problems which are highly complex and where onsite engineering support may
be needed, the local service team will work with Level 2 Remote Support Engineers and Level 3
Design Engineers to determine the best course of action to bring your system back to its full
capability. They will balance the need to give local resources the chance for a quick solve
(including remote support methods) with the probability that an extra level of support will be
needed from headquarters.
