PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to describe how the end to-end Service Desk function from 1. Line interacting
with customers through 3. Line provided by ISVs, TBIS personell and hosting providers.
SCOPE
Service Desk inquiries in this context is classified into the following categories
Request ie helping customers set up and use the services available, including billing-related
questions.
Incident - ie the services does not function as they should (software bugs, operation downtime etc
Change when a change or configuration change to the solutions/systems are requested
Service Desk inquiries may arise at different levels in the value chain:
Level 0 Customer Self-service
Level 1 The function interacting directly with customers and users.
Level 2 the function providing help on issues that Level 1 cannot resolve.
Level 3 the function providing help on issues that Level 2 cannot resolve.
It is important to note that Customer Service and Support often times are organized into 2 separate entities,
the TBIS approach as defined in this document will handle Customer Service and Support within the same
organization, a so called SPOC approach Single Point Of Contact for all types of inquiries. For this purpose
the term Service Desk is used.
These 2 dimensions define the scope matrix of this document:
The document is organized according to the above matrix, that is into the following sections:
Section 1: How Level 1 Service Desk should handle requests and incidents.
Section 2: How Level 2 Service Desk should handle requests, incidents and changes.
Section 3: How Level 3 will handle requests, incidents and changes.

Comment
Request fulfillment focuses on fulfilling Service Requests, which are often
minor (standard) changes (e.g., requests to change a password) or requests
for information, help to do something.
An event which is not part of the standard operation of a service and which
causes or may cause disruption to or a reduction in the quality of services
and customer productivity.
The objective of change management in this context is to ensure that
standardized methods and procedures are used for efficient and prompt
handling of all changes to control IT infrastructure, in order to minimize the
number and impact of any related incidents upon service.
Changes in the IT infrastructure may arise reactively in response to problems
or externally imposed requirements, e.g. legislative changes, or proactively
from seeking improved efficiency and effectiveness or to enable or reflect
business initiatives, or from programs, projects or service improvement
initiatives.
Change Management can ensure standardized methods, processes and
procedures which are used for all changes, facilitate efficient and prompt
handling of all changes, and maintain the proper balance between the need
for change and the potential detrimental impact of changes.The main aims of
change management include:
Service Desk
TBIS platform
TBIS Platform is the name for the Parallels IS cloud broker platform. It is
based on off-the shelve functionality as well as functionality that may be
custom made for the Reseller. TBIS supports processes for ensuring
provisioning and operation of 3rd party ISV functionality within TBIS Platform.
Independent Software Vendor creating applications to sell in the cloud and
make them available on the TBIS platform.
Single Point of Contact.
ISV
SPOC
The customer(s) should only be required to interact with one entity (1. line
support). Towards the end customer 1. line will own the ticket.
Similarely, 1. line should only interact with 2. line, irrespective of who is
actually providing the solution. 2. line will own the the ticket towards 1. line.

INTRODUCTION
The picture below depicts the process flow of customer service and support. For the most part,
Requests and Incidents follow the same processes, while Change is somewhat different but is using
the same Level 2 function and ticketing tool (Kayako) to tie the processes together.
Page 6 of 30
LEVEL 0: SELF-SERVICE
Description
Level 0 is characterized by self-help/service, meaning
that the customer solves the issue at hand by themselves,
without interaction with 1. line customer service/support.
Responsibilities TBIS
The following will be available from TBIS to the
BU/reseller to facilitate Level 0 customer service:
Control panel Parallels control panels for
customer end customers and administrators
where they can administer their services
Video tutorials short videos on how to use the
services.
Manuals instructions on how to set up, use and troubleshoot the services.
Technical specifications specifications and systems requirements for hardware and software.
Downloads the latest software updates for the services.
Responsibilities BU/reseller
The BU/reseller will be responsible for localization of the material and exposure at the relevant BU/reseller web
pages/support forum. This will be handled through the BU/reseller onboarding project.
Processes
Implementation will be handled through the particular project organization.

LEVEL 1 SERVICE DESK: SPOC FOR END CUSTOMERS (REQUESTS AND INCIDENTS)
Description
If the customer has a request or wants to report an
incident, the customer will contact the BU/reseller
through the communication channels provided by
the BU/reseller. The BU/reseller defines the
channels and opening hours.
The BU can choose to provide this using
internal/excisting resources or purchase this as a
managed services from TBIS.
Responsibilities TBIS
If the BU/reseller is using internal/excisting
resources to provide this service, TBIS will provide training of the BU/reseller Level 1 agents in
ISV product use and administration
ISV administration portals
processes (request, incidents)
needed tools (ticketing system)
TBIS will also provide documentation on the most common inquiries to Customer Service and corresponding
solutions/processes.
or
For BUs/resellers that does not want/is not able to provide customer support/service themselves, TBIS can
provide Level 1 customer service on behalf of the BU/reseller as a managed service.
In these cases, the BU/reseller sells the SaaS/IaaS offering , but will not provide support/customer service.
To be specified in commercial terms/part of contract between reseller and TBIS, TBIS can provide these services
white-labelled by answering/responding to the inquiries by the name of the BU/reseller. TBIS will be able to
provide this service in most major languages, but the final setup will be subject to agreement between the
parties. Depending on the chosen setup, the BU/reseller must cover expenses related to additional language
capabilities and the extra costs this implies for TBIS, as TBIS will have to provide more of the customer service
value.
If the BU/reseller does not want to leverage internal/excisting customer service functions, TBIS strongly suggests
that the BU/reseller use the TBIS customer service function as partner for outsourcing the 1st line Service Desk,
given that TBIS can provide the service at competitive and comparative cost.
Responsibilities BU/reseller
The BU/reseller must provide training for support in all internal billing, sales and support systems and ensure
these are made available and configured in a way suited to the particular purpose.
The BU/reseller will also be responsible to define the customer journeys applicable:

Activation
Payment/billing
Support/customer service
Change (up/downgrade)
Cancel/termination
Service level
Level 1 must be able to handle at least 80% of the most frequent inquiries, as defined by the different ISVs.
Typically, they fall into the following categories;

means as an example that TBIS is not responsible for the time it will take Microsoft to provision a service once
the provisioning call has been sent from TBIS Platform to Microsoft. TBIS will however pro-actively work with the
partner network of resellers and ISVs to ensure that the experienced end-2-end managed service quality is
satisfactory and improving.

The following meetings constitutes the governance model for requests and incidents. Change has its own
Governance process though the project governance established for non-predefied changes. Predefined
changes is handled through the meetings specified below:
Weekly/bi-weekly operational meetings
This meeting is designed to follow up on the operation of the 1. line function. The objective is to follow up on the
defined SLAs/KPIs. It is based on the weekly SLA/KPI reports and will address any deviation to the SLA/KPIs. If
the BU/reseller is responsible for the 1. line customer service/support themselves, TBIS will only participate upon
request.
Actions coming out of this meeting should be addressed and solved within the time frame until the next
operational meeting (1 2 weeks). An operation meeting action point report should be maintained to follow-up
actions defined in the meetings. TBIS will be responsible to plan, execute and provide needed input/outputs from
these meetings.
Monthly tactical meetings
This meeting governs more tactical issues that not necessarily is covered by the SLAs/KPIs and it has a broader
audience. The main purpose of this meeting is to share the insights collected in 1. line customer service/support
with a broader audience (sales, product and marketing people) the benefits of these can be incorporated into
future products and campaigns.
Similarely, the meeting will act as an arena for sales and product managers to inform about upcoming campaigns
and initiatives that directly will affect the Service Desk function in 1. line.
Actions coming out of this meeting should be addressed and solved within the time frame until the next tactical
meeting (1-3 months). TBIS will be responsible to plan, execute and provide needed input/outputs from these
meetings.
When an identified improvement requirement cannot be decided in the operational review meeting, it will be
proposed for further discussion in the strategic meeting. These meetings can be incorporated as part of the
regular status meetings between the BU/TBIS KAM and project meetings. Frequency can be
increased/decreased upon need (more frequent during startup, less frequent later.)

Actions that caused issue. If you performed any actions that could cause the issue, please describe
them in details.
Error message(s). Did you receive an error message while performing this task? If so, please copy and
paste it below (please provide the exact error message if available.
Reproducibility. What are the steps to reproduce this issue/error (the more specific you are, the faster
we can troubleshoot the issue).
Initial technical fault diagnosis on notification of fault from the end customer
does the 1. line and/or the customer allow direct contact between customer and 2nd and/or 3rd line?
The Incident may originate either by a) an end customer or b) Level 1 Service Desk c) BU/reseller
Operations.
TBIS Customer Service (2. line) will receive the inquiry by mail or phone.
TBIS Customer Service (2. line) will classify the incident (Level 1 4) and register the incident in
Kayako ticketing tool.
The requestor will receive a confirmation by e-mail with a reference id enabling the requestor to follow
the status of the incident continuously.
Any incident that TBIS Customer Service (2. line) cannot resolve (due to knowledge or authority/access
level), will be forwarded to appropriate entity, including:
o Datacom
o the ISV in question
o Telenor Operation
o TBIS operation team
Upon completion, TBIS Service Desk (2. line) will update ticket status in Kayako to closed and
requestor will be notified (by e-mail for level 3 and 4, by phone and/or mail for level 1 and 2 incidents).
Process for incidents handled outside business hours
The Incident may originate either by a) an end customer or b) Level 1 Service Desk c) BU/reseller
Operations.
The requestor will call the same number as for Service Desk during business hours.
When calling this number outside business hours, the requestor will be informed in local language that:
o Service Desk for normal inquiries is now closed and the corresponding opening hours.
o If the call is about a severe incident, the call will be forwarded to our 24/7 that will respond in
English.
o If the 24/7 does not answer, it is because traffic is high. However, they will call back at the first
possibility.
The 24/7 function will classify the incident (Level 1 4) and register the incident in Kayako ticketing tool.
The requestor will receive a confirmation by e-mail with a reference id enabling the requestor to follow
the status of the incident continuously.
If the incident reported is classified as either Severity 1 or Severity 2, it will be forwarded to the
appropriate entity, including:
o Datacom
o the ISV in question
o TBIS operation team
If the Incident is classified as Severity 3 or 4, the customer will be informed (during the call) that it will be
handled by the Level 2 Service Desk the following business day and resolution time will be calculated
from start of that business day..
The Incident will be resolved according to the agreed SLA with the ISV or Datacom.
Upon completion, TBIS Service Desk (2. line) or the 24/7 function will update ticket status in Kayako to
closed and requestor will be notified by e-mail.
Planned and unplanned service interruptions detected by 2. line and/or 3 rd line Service Desk
In the case where a planned or unplanned service interruption is initiated/detetected by 2. line or 3rd line, all
resellers will be informed through the specified contact matrix in Appendix 7.

Escalations
In case an incident is not resolved within the defined SLA, requestor or the 24/7 function may escalate through
TBIS management. Contact information in Appendix 7.

Moving multiple users between BUs/resellers Upon request TBIS will move users between two
BUs/resellers. The requester is responsible for providing data identifying which users to move between
which BUs/resellers.
Establishing new BU/reseller Upon request TBIS will establish a new BU/reseller and enable this
BU/reseller to be chosen by customers during onboarding (i.e., selectable in the shop).
Adding new standard MS product Upon request TBIS will add additional MS products that can be
provisioned via MOSI. This includes making it available in the shop for either sales partners or
customers to buy.
Adding dealerID in bulk Some Bus/resellers makes use of dealerID to track sales to their sales
organizations/dealers. The TBIS system already holds an overview of many dealers, and upon request
TBIS will add more dealerIDs.
New service plan If the BU/reseller decides to add new products (i.e., other than MS products) to their
portfolio, a new service plan can be needed. Upon request TBIS will add service plans. The first step in
this process would be to work together on the scope, product definitions, pricing, etc., meaning this
should be run as a product involving both the requester and TBIS.
New basic reseller If the BU/reseller decides to approach different customer segments than they
currently do, one possibility is to set up a separate reseller for this purpose. Upon request TBIS will set
up a new sub reseller. The first step in this process would be to work together on the scope.

There will be a great variety in the complexity and scope of non-predefined changes/work orders. Thus, these
have a case by case lead time and amount of effort to complete
The first response from TBIS (ref above) aim to include an evaluation of scope of the change/work order, when to
deliver and how to proceed. Note that a Non-Predefined change in many cases will imply a commercial process
with a sub-contractor, meaning that time and price cannot be confirmed before a commercial binding from subcontractor is available.
Below a further description of the process for non-predefined changes/Work orders follows.
Detailed process for non-predefined changes/work orders
The CR phased process is designed to ensure that the needed interactions and decisions points between TBIS
and Reseller is taken care of in a structured matter. Also the process will ease the status reporting and progress
tracking of CRs. To facilitate this there are some milestones built into the process.

TBIS receives the CHANGE/WORK ORDER and categorizes it. If it is in a category that is
familiar and has an SLA connected to it, the Change/work order is taken forward according
to that SLA.
Requester gets a receipt within 1 working day, acknowledging that the Change/work order
is received. Requests are managed in Kayako, and a reference will be sent as part of this
mail, and be used in all further communication.
Requester gets the first response within 2 working days, suggesting how the Change/work
order will be delivered.
In this process the requester and TBIS agree on the scope and the requirements. For
smaller requests, such as moving customers between TOSSes this can be streamlined
and standardized by passing specifications along with the request itself e.g. by adding a
table with the relevant information. For bigger requests a workshop or other structured way
of collecting and agreeing on requirements should be used. Tapstorm solution architect(s)
will be available for technical discussions if needed.
Requester and TBIS
Milestone: Confirmation that requester and TBIS agree on the requirements.
Requester will receive a notification at this point.
Requester and TBIS
Requester is informed
In the proposal phase TBIS aligns internally, and if necessary with partners to find the best
way of delivering on the requirements.
Output will be presented to requester, and will in general hold this information:
Delivery model (who will deliver what)
Overview of which requirements can be delivered on, and which cannot be delivered on
Time estimate
Cost estimate
TBIS
Milestone: Requester agrees to the terms put forth in the proposal.
This means that the scope of work is settled, and that all additional requirements or
functionality that are put forth on a later stage are not to be delivered on, unless the
requester demands that a new time and cost estimate is given. (This can potentially delay
the ongoing work.)
If an agreement cannot be reached the Change/work order can be moved back to the REQ
phase (for changing the scope/requirements) or it can be stopped (e.g. if the cost is too
high to justify the functionality or if vital requirements cannot be delivered on).
Requester
Requester is informed
During this phase the solution is being developed.
TBIS (and sub-contractors)
Milestone: The development has finished and is ready to be tested by TBIS.

FAT: Factory Acceptance Test. In this phase TBIS runs internal testing to make sure the
solution delivers according to the requirements.
In general there is (at least) one test scenario per requirement. The testing itself is
facilitated by professional test manager(s) on TBIS side.
TBIS
Milestone: Passed TBIS internal testing, and ready for requester to do CAT (UAT).
TBIS
Requester is informed
CAT: Customer Acceptance Test. In this phase the requester runs testing to make sure the
business requirements are met and that the solution is working in the integrated
environment in Telenor Norway.
Requester
Milestone: The requesters tests are passed and the (new) functionality is ready to be put
into production.
Requester
Requester is informed
This is the final phase where the solution to the Change/work order is put into production.
Typically this involves technical enablement of the solution as well as regression testing to
make sure the production version behaves in the same way as the test version.
TBIS (and sub-contractors)
Milestone: Solution is verified to function and to be up and running in the production
environment.
