Service Level Agreement

Committed to the continuity and performance of your operation

What is an SLA?

The foundation of our alliance: clarity in the timing, processes, and results of technical support

At IVCISA, we recognize the importance of providing exceptional and transparent service at all times. To ensure a fruitful collaboration and establish clear expectations, we have developed our Service Level Agreement (SLA).

The Objective of SLAs

We maximize the value of your support through quality commitments

Scope of IVCISA SLAs

los SLA IVCISA

The support scope is defined by the existence of a current support subscription and is governed by the terms and conditions of the specific IVCISA Support Plan that the client has acquired.

SLA Times

Details of maximum response times according to the priority of the incident and your support plan

The SLAs for incident and requirement management are defined and vary according to the contracted Support Plan (Essentials, Business, or Enterprise). Below are the maximum response times for each Priority Level and by plan type.

Explanation of SLA Levels

Priority levels are established to ensure that clients receive timely and effective support. Below are more details on each severity level:

Severity
Definition
Criteria
Critical
Main system inoperative, no workaround.
Emergency that stops critical business operations. Total impact on the business, all users affected.
High
Critical functionality degraded, with serious impact on operations but system still partially available.
Large number of users affected, limited operations, partial solutions exist.
Medium
Non-critical failure or technical query. Limited impact, with workarounds available.
Limited number of users affected or without urgency.
Low
Request for general information or future improvement. No functional impact.
Without impact on operations or users.
Consultancy
Solicitud de información general o mejora futura. No hay impacto funcional.
Sin impacto en operaciones ni usuarios.

Response and resolution speed is determined by combining the incident’s priority level with your plan’s tier. The Platinum Plan offers the fastest and most demanding response times in the catalog, followed by the Gold Plan with intermediate timeframes, while the Silver Plan sets the maximum allowed time for handling requests.

The difference lies in the continuity of the operation and the existence of technical alternatives:

  • Severity P1 (Critical): It is declared when there is a total impact on the operation of the business, essential services are completely down and there is no alternative to continue working.
  • Severity P2 (High): This applies when the incident causes a partial impact or severe degradation in system performance, but the organization has alternative routes or temporary solutions to maintain active operation.

The technical support structure divides its responsibilities into two specialized teams:

  • Help Desk: It operates on a standard 8/5 scheme to resolve general queries, mid-level configurations (P3) or minor requirements (P4).
  • Engineers on Duty: They operate under a total 24/7/365 coverage and are activated exclusively and immediately to attend to critical incidents classified as Severity P1.

Within the best practices section, users are required to provide a set of technical evidence before submitting a ticket. This includes clear identification of the affected component, system error logs, a detailed description of the problem, and screenshots showing the failure.

The portal includes a downloads area that provides the client with two key regulatory files for service transparency: the “Download SLA Matrix” button (which details the exact table of committed hours) and the “Download Support Policy” button (which governs the legal and operational guidelines for service).

Through this pillar focused on transparency, the company generates regular reports and performance indicators that evaluate the actual performance of the support teams. This data allows for auditing whether the timeframes agreed upon in the SLA table are being met and serves as a basis for continuously optimizing customer service workflows.
