Issue Priorities and Response
A system of issue priorities is used by Automation Vendor. However, the default used is as follows:
• Priority (P1) Critical: A Priority ONE issue is system faults where there is a major impact
on normal operation of the system. Automation Vendor will immediately begin work on a
P1 issue, with the immediate goal of restoring normal operation to the system via a fault
correction or a satisfactory work-around.
• Priority (P2) Urgent: Priority TWO is used for system faults where normal system operation
is affected to some degree and a satisfactory work-around is not available. Automation
Vendor will use best endeavors to respond to the issue in the times stated in Response Times
section of this document. In most cases, it is normal for Automation Vendor to respond in
faster times than those stated
• Priority (P3) Standard: Priority THREE is used for system faults where a fault was
detected, but normal operation is not affected. For software related issues, this priority allows
for work to be scheduled as part of a planned maintenance update (sprint release).
• Priority (P4) Enhancement Or Minor Operation Issues: Priority FOUR is used when an
enhancement request is made for potential modifications to Supported Product
Refer the following table for more clarity on issue categorization and resolution times

substantially
• The response targets are for the Support Services group to return a call to State Street’s support
contact to start diagnosis of the problem
• Initial Response is when a ticket is opened and acknowledged by help desk staff.
• Estimation Response is when the user that logged the ticket is informed of an estimated
resolution time.
• Resolution is the point at which the problem is resolved either at the root or given a work
around and the application function is returned to a usable and available state.
