HOME SERVICE STATUS 020 7749 1000 REQUEST A CALLBACK Optimity Solutions Services About us Latest news Contact us SEARCH COVID-19 About us About us Leadership Careers COVID-19 Optimity has always been committed to delivering Service Excellence, during these unscripted changing times, now more than ever we are pulling together as a team to help deliver this. January 5th 2021 Dear Customer, With the rapid spread of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19), our number one priority is the health and safety of our employees and customers. Our services remain operational and we have long prepared for the possibility of a pandemic within our overall business continuity plan to ensure we can maintain this service level, while ensuring the health and safety of all that interact with us. Whilst we are doing our best it is inevitable that some services may experience delays with SLA’s and response times; we appreciate your understanding and patience while we work under the restrictions of a lockdown. We continue to closely monitor the spread of COVID-19 and are following the recommendations of public health authorities across the UK. We will continue to provide updates as the situation develops. Whilst there is a great deal of uncertainty and worry about the situation we remain fully engaged whilst we are working from home. We would like to reassure that we are doing all we can to remain operational for our clients - while taking appropriate steps to protect ourselves and you, our customers and our suppliers by following Government guidelines and using common sense. This means that our Support Desk remains completely operational but that the movements of our engineers in the field has now been substantially restricted. Consequentially, our field engineering team will only be attending customer premises when absolutely essential and where we are satisfied there is a safe environment for them to wok within. All operations will be undertaken remotely where possible. In the event of a significant issue with our core network, we will evaluate the risks and impact on a case by case basis and provide regular updates at the Service Status area of the Optimity website. During this time, we would ask that you send emails directly to our support mailbox to avoid unnecessary call volumes which inevitably slows our engineers down. This will help us to navigate your ticket to the appropriate team quickly and help our engineers concentrate on resolving existing issues. We do have an extremely advanced ticketing system so you can be assured your ticket is receiving the attention it needs according to the priority set. Support: This is the main priority for us and we have restructured our engineering team to ensure we process tickets efficiently. We are committed to keeping our customers operational and supporting them through this phase but we do ask all our customers to understand that some tickets are more urgent than others, particularly when raised by crucial public services, and these will be prioritised above all else. Service Requests: Remote access and phone divert specific jobs. We appreciate how critical this is during the current climate and have adjusted our team with the majority of our engineering resources dedicated to this to get as many of our clients up and running as quickly as possible. However, there are multiple variables at play which we do not have control over, these include items such as old home laptops, older laptops together with home internet connections and router limitations. We are working as quickly as we can but in some instances it may take longer to complete requests. Furthermore, if adjustments are required on home equipment or equipment that we do not usually support we will work with best endeavours but may not be able to assist in some instances. Service Requests These jobs are classified as anything new you would like added or changed to your existing environment. This does not apply to anything business-critical and will generally apply to enhancements or improvements. Typical examples of the jobs that would fall under this bracket, but not limited to are: Email group changes Phone Diverts New starter setups & new PC builds Email signature changes Policy changes New software/hardware installations In summary, our response to requests during these times may be longer than you usual. Please bear with us and rest assured we are working as quickly as we can to serve the needs of all customers.
