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.

ROLES AND DEFINITIONS


Term
Request
Incident
Change

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:

Minimal disruption of services

Reduction in back-out activities

Economic use of resources involved in the change

Service Desk

The term encompasses that this function has a broad responsibility:


- Handle calls and mails from customers (requests). Calls can be
outgoing or incoming.
- Handle incidents when the services are down, partially or fully.
- Be SPOC for change orders coming from BU/reseller.

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.

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:

Sales
Order/order confirmation
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;

Telenor Business Internet Services AS.

contain:
Status on service delivery compared to agreed SLA/KPIs
Volume of the different inquires (requests and incidents).

agent is not skilled enough, shall be forwarded to Level 2 customer service/support through the provided
channels. See Appendix 7 for contact information to Level 2 customer service/support.
Incidents
It is expected that the Level 1 Customer Service agents are able to differentiate an incident from an request and
accordingly handle in accordance with the defined procedure (described below):

Differentiate an Incident from a Request (there is a real problem, not only that the customer does
not know how to do things).
Determine what part of the service the Incident is related to (Parallels platform or a particular product
or other).
Be knowledgeable about know bugs, errors or planned outages or know where to find such
information so tickets are not raised for known problems.
Able to classify the Incident according to prescribed guidelines (Severity 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.)
Forward or escalate the Incident to the correct recipient according to defined procedures (could be to
TBIS Level 2 support or to hosting partner.
Inform the customer(s) about the status and progress of the Incident.

It is not expected that Level 1 Customer Service should start troubleshooting and fixing errors for Incidents. For
Incidents outside regular opening hours, a 24/7 service via phone is provided by TBIS, but will only be available
for the most severe Incidents (Severity Level 1 and 2). During a call to this 24/7 service, the level of severity and
actions to be taken will be determined.
Severity level 1 and 2 must be called in (no mails accepted).

TBIS encourages the BU/reseller to evaluate whether Service Desk should be embedded in the ISV offering or
sold as optional services as this can become a major revenue stream. Although product mix and marked
considerations define the final model, a typical model looks like the following:

LEVEL 3: TBIS, ISV OR HOSTING PROVIDER SUPPORT


Description
Level 3 support implies support for requests and
incidents that neither Level 1 nor Level 2 is able to
answer or resolve. Level 3 support will be provided
by the ISV, TBIS Operation team and Datacom.
Responsibilities TBIS
The below responsibilities are listed separately
between TBIS, ISV and Datacom to provide
distinction between the organizations. However,
overall responsibility remains with TBIS:
ISVs (requests and incidents)
In general the service levels will follow the response times and service levels provided by the different ISV
support organizations.
The response times/service levels will be communicated on an continuous basis to the BU/reseller, as they are
dynamic in nature. If a request/incident is forwarded to the XaaS provider, TBIS shall inform the BU/reseller
about this with the corresponding expected response time.
3rd party (ISVs and vendors) monitor their functionality in order to automatically detect incidents. When incidents
are reported to TBIS 3. line, TBIS 3. line is responsible to notify BU/reseller Support by mail within 15 minutes after
detection. The notification shall, if possible, include time the incident occurred, ticket number (where applicable),
likely cause of incident, suggested severity level, actions to be taken.
A summary of some relevant SLAs that TBIS has in place with its partners/vendors are listed in Appendix I.
Datacom1 (requests and incidents)
Datacom shall monitor the TBIS Platform functionality in order to detect incidents (outage or non-optimal
performance of process) within 30 minutes during business hours and within 2 hours outside business hours.
TBIS (change)
Responsibilities BU/reseller
Reseller Support shall provide TBIS Support with sufficient information in the trouble ticket. In the period where
Reseller Support is asked for supplementary information, and TBIS Support is unable to continue solving the
trouble ticket, the time waiting for supplementary information may be deducted from the SLA-time. However, any
supplementary information needed must be requested before the target of the Resolution simple/Status-time has
expired (meaning that requests done after Resolution simple/Status-time has expired will not be deducted from
SLA-time).
Reporting
TBIS will provide Reseller within 10 business days in following month a report showing whether the SLA-targets
have been met, which will include:

Excel-list of all incidents (incl. information, ticket number, SLA level, how it was raised (channel), SLA
level, SLA-relevant target, actual SLA performance)
KPI performance: How many incidents were handled per channel per Severity Level
o Detection (only for incidents monitored by TBIS)
o Resolution simple/status
o Resolved time

Processes
Requests
It will be the TBIS and TBIS customer service provider that interacts with the ISVs. The end customer or the
Level 1 will never interact with the ISVs, platform operator or infrastructure hoster, unless this is explicitly agreed
between the parties.

APPENDIX 1: Severity levels for Parallels platform incidents


Incident priority is formed out of it's Impact and Urgency according to the below table. Ie, if an incident has
Impact = High and Urgency = Medium, the Severity level is 2. The lower the value - the higher the Priority,
thus Priority=1 is the highest one, and Priority=5 the lowest.

Definition of incident urgency and impact in ISV services


Urgency
High (value 1)

The damage caused by the Incident increases rapidly.

Work that cannot be completed by staff is highly time sensitive.

A minor Incident can be prevented from becoming a major Incident by acting immediately.

Several users with VIP status are affected.


Medium (value 2)

The damage caused by the Incident increases considerably over time.

A single user with VIP status is affected.


Low (value 3)

The damage caused by the Incident only marginally increases over time.

Work that cannot be completed by staff is not time sensitive.


Impact
High (value 1)

A large number of staff are affected and/or not able to do their job.

A large number of customers are affected and/or acutely disadvantaged in some way.

The financial impact of the Incident is (for example) likely to exceed $10,000.

The damage to the reputation of the business is likely to be high.


Medium (value 2)

A moderate number of staff are affected and/or not able to do their job properly.

A moderate number of customers are affected and/or inconvenienced in some way.

The financial impact of the Incident is (for example) likely to exceed $1,000 but will not be more than
$10,000.

The damage to the reputation of the business is likely to be moderate.


Low (value 3)

A minimal number of staff are affected and/or able to deliver an acceptable service but this requires
extra effort.

A minimal number of customers are affected and/or inconvenienced but not in a significant way.

The financial impact of the Incident is (for example) likely to be less than $1,000.

APPENDIX 5: Governance structure


The Goverance structure for Customer Service is illustrated below. The governance structure is designed to
support one BU/reseller, but more BUs/resellers can be combined into the same governance model (ie the
issues for more than one BU/reseller are discussed in the same meetings).
(Illustration to be updated)

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.)

in nature. The objective of the meeting is to define an overall improvement plan for customer service/support the
coming 6 12 months.
TBIS will be responsible to plan, execute and provide needed input/outputs from these meetings.

APPENDIX 8: Process for handling incidents


Needed information to raise tickets for incidents:

Contact information (Customer name/customer number, name of person, e-mail, phone)

What products/platforms are affected?

Initial evaluation of the Ticket severity (Priority 1-4)

Number of impacted customers

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

describe actions already taken to find a resolution.

does the 1. line and/or the customer allow direct contact between customer and 2nd and/or 3rd line?

Process for incidents handled within business hours

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

APPENDIX 9: Process for Change/work orders


Depending on the nature of the change inquiry, 2 differenet processes will be adhered to:

Predefined Changes/Work orders

Non-Predefined Changes/Work orders


The initial step for both processes will for both predefined or non-predefined be that the requestor registers new
changes/work orders directly in Kayako (if the requestor has a user id) or by sending and e-mail labelled
Change/work order to the relevant e-mail address supplied in Appendix D.
After the requestors initial submittal of changes/work orders in Kayako, Level 3 support (TBIS platform and
product team) will give a first response within 2 working days. The first response will classify the Changes/Work
orders as predefined or non-predefined, and also include a first scope evaluation, and how to proceed. When to
deliver is part of first response for Predefined changes.
Predefined Changes/Work orders
These changes/work orders have a predefined lead time and predefined amount of effort to complete. Note:
Lead time and effort is indicative/advisory

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.

Non-Predefined Changes/Work orders


Non-predifed changes/work orders are all Changes requested that are not classified as Pre-defined
Telenor Business Internet Services AS.
Snaryveien 30 1360 Fornebu Norway +47 67890000 www.tapstorm.com

Page 28 of 30

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.
