How long do I wait for a response?

I opened an SR on June 9th, some trouble with ZCM. The technician escalated the call. Today is June 17th, and I have ZERO response on it. Someone remind me why I pay for support each year? We've opened 2 ZCM related SR's this year, neither of which have been resolved. It's just ridiculous.

I agree with your comments. In being honest as well, we unfortunately do have SRs that get behind or missed. It's very frustrating on our side as well when we have these come up. We have implemented a number of technologies and also human touch to help us catch these and continue to focus on ways to overcome these delays. I know it's frustrating for you as well.
Our customer satisfaction is very high and actually continues to increase each Qtr. Our data shows us our three key satisfaction areas are; speed of response, speed of resolution and followup.
Chat support helps us in response time, but sometimes may hinder us in resolution times. Especially with more complex issues. Our goals were not to totally replace the phones with chats, but to use chat to allow us to respond more quickly, which it has done. We're now focusing our folks to realize it's still ok to call you when the Chat is hindering resolution and it would be quicker to talk live about the issue.
We resolve over half of the SRs on the first day. We continue to focus on speeding up the resolution of those that go beyond the first day. A couple things we've implemented are we call you back at least every 2 days when the SR is in Novell's court and at least every 5 days when it's in your court. We've also implemented timed escalation for SRs and are now looking at also escalating when progress is not being made after a certain number of days (rather that just time open). The goal is to get you in the hands of the right person asap to speed up the resolution time.
We're also having Managers call you on more and more SRs before being closed to double check your satisfaction with the SR.
Our dream is to never have you need to ask us for attention on a SR. We continue to make progress on it.
I look forward to your thoughts and other ideas you may have to help us improve,

  • How long should I wait for an invoice?

    I made a Buy It Now Purchase that indicated there was free shipping.   I went to pay for it but I couldn't.   The seller had not indicated a shipping cost - I imagine it would be zero since they offered free shipping.  I emailed them asking for an invoice so I can pay, but haven't heard anything from them.  I'm thinking they forgot about it and went on holiday!   Sent another email today.  Got an email from Ebay telling me to pay, but there's no invoice.  How long do I wait for the seller to send me one?   Thanks.

    The seller had not indicated a shipping cost - I imagine it would be zero since they offered free shipping.  Well, no.If the seller does not indicate a shipping cost to Canada, it means he doesn't plan to ship to Canada.The Free Shipping is domestic only, although some Canadian sellers, listing here on dotCA, will give Free Shipping to Canada, and $0.00 shipping to the USA. Rarely will a US shipper offer the same deal to Canadian buyers.If your seller is in China, he might include the price of shipping in the asking price. (Which is what Free Shipping really means.) Since he has much the same cost for shipping anywhere in the world, he may offer Free Worldwide Shipping.However most Chinese shippers are quite sophisticated and hare set up to bill the customer automatically, precluding the need for communication, which runs into language barriers. To find the shipping cost, go back to the listing, open the Shipping and Handling tab and identify your Canadian postal code. That will give you your shipping cost. If there is no shipping cost to Canada, you have a different problem.The seller may continue to ignore you. This costs him the fees he pays to eBay.He may Report you as an Unwelcome Buyer. This gets the transaction cancelled and his fees back, but I believe it puts a black mark on your Buyer account. (Not an important one.)

  • Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up?

    Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up? I tried the steps for a factory reset given on this site, but it still does not want to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        Hello otter314!
    Let's take a look into this to see if we can figure out what happened. When did this begin? What's the software version of the device? Do you remember what was happening with the device right before this started? Please supply me with some additional information, I'm happy to help with a resolution!

    How did your iPad work in the store?
    they say they are working on the problem. (probably a software problem) that they will have an update for it. Well my question is when?
    Next week. Or next year. Maybe sooner. Maybe later.
    How long must we wait. ... HELP apple!!
    No one at Apple who knows that answer is going to ready or reply to your post. This is a user-to-user tech support forum. I can help you get your iPad working with your current network, but that is all.
    Apple is always working on updates for all current products. If there is some way they can improve compatibility with more 3rd party routers, they will certainly do it. That is no guarantee that any potential future improvement will help you. The best solution is to replace your router with one that works with the iPad.

  • How long is the wait for uptodate program?

    I bought a macbook pro on 23rd July which is after Lion release, and it still shipped with Snow Leopard. Applied to the "uptodate" program on 24th, and it is now 1st of august! Nine days and waiting, and no response at all. What am I suppose to do?

    I'm just wondering if there's a way to find out how long a wait to expect between each new episode of a show you've bought a season pass to?
    Sorry but no, there isn't. The iTunes Store normally posts episodes as soon as they get the episodes from the producers (barring a technical problem with the video that would require the iTunes Store to request a new copy).
    Since the show is screened weekly in my country, I can't see the reason for the 2 week+ wait. Any ideas?
    Probably delays or problems at the production house.
    If not, I can't seem to find a questions/complaints email address for iTunes Australia, can you point me in the right direction?
    http://www.apple.com/au/support/itunes/contact.html
    Though there's probably nothing they can tell you, but it won't hurt to contact them as ask what's going on.

  • Should clients of long-running processes wait for a response?

    I am a bit confused by the worklist tutorial where the client waits around for
    a response from the worklist process that blocks on human input. This may be okay
    for the sample application, but is it a realistic scenario? Have you designed
    any practical worklist processes this way? I would have thought that the client
    of a worklist process would simply trigger the process and go away. Eventually
    when the human involved in the process would take some action, the process would
    then, for example, send a message to some application. What do you think? I would
    be interested in your opinions and perhaps some real examples of how you are using
    worklists.
    Thanks.
    P.S. Is it even possible for a worklist client to trigger the process and go away?
    Would the process die because the client has gone out of scope?

  • HT204053 HOW LONG TAKE TO WAIT FOR ACTIVATION OF FACETIME?

    how long take to activation of facetime ?

    Oh it gets worse.  Originally I was told my new address didn't have Infinity so I would be recieving a Hub 3 for normal broadband.  After spending 2 1/2 hours on the phone on Monday and speaking to several different people within BT I am told that the reason the hub wasn't delivered was that my new home does have fibre cables for Infinity.  Therefore they had cancelled the order for the hub as they assumed I would plug my existing Hub 5 in and use it.  What they absolutely failed to do was to tell me this wasting 5 weeks of my time, frustration, phone calls and emails.  the next day I recieved a home hub 3 in the post!!!!  what I hadn't got was the correct socket on the wall for infinity and I tried to explain, but clearly failed, was that I needed either the socket changing (two BT department advisors couldn't get their head around this one) or I needed a filter to plug into the existing standard socket.  One didn't arrive with the hub 3 so I went out and bought one from ASDA.  I was told that I would recieve a call yesterday to arange for the engineers vist.  they were just going to book a date and time for a visit but I explained that like most people I worked and therefore that is where you would normally find me during the day.  I'm still waiting for that call....
    anyway I plugged my Hub 5 in and hey presto in works.  The Mbps speed is absolutely rock bottom, 1.82Mbps, nothin like the 38MBps that Infinity should provide but at least I'm connected to the 20th century.  I waiting a while to see if the speed climbs up to the expected speed over the next few days before I waste another 2.5 hours on the phone to BT trying to get my point across and being told a load of twaddle.

  • Invalid serial number for Lion update. How long do we wait for the code ?

    I bought iMac on June 27, 2011 from the Apple Store in Nashua, NH.
    I went to the page to enter my serial number and get my code for free LION update.
    All I get is invalid serial # message.
    I filled out the form and I am still waiting...going on second day ???
    MadoneGirl

    I know that. I entered my valid serial number but the system that allows for a free update is rejecting
    the serial number. You then have to send them a copy of your purchase etc etc.........and they will
    email you some kind of code !!!! I am still (along with many others) waiting for my CODE.

  • How long do I wait for A DVD with Lion? 3.5Gb download would use 50% of my months amount - too much too slow.

    At 3.5Gb download, it will be too much for many MAc users.  How have 3 Macs that will run Lion but a download of 3.5Gb, as I am told, would use 50% of my family monthly download of 7Gb.  I'm not going to go that way which leaves me with no options unless I can buy a DVD.  APple shouldn't assume everyone has a massive download limit or very fast download speed.

    Mac user since 128K Mac in 1985.

    Dave,
    Don';t worry you are not alone.
    1) There will be no DVD (as of time of writing)
    2) There *will* be a USB Dongle though, available August from Apple
    3) You can go to an Apple Store (If you have one! ) - Download the Installer and BEFORE YOU RUN IT, you can either create a DVD or clone it. This is because when the installer runs it self destructs.
    4) Note you only need to download once - you can the use 3) above to clone and update up to 5 Macs on the same Appleid.
    Regards,

  • When I click on a Firefox update My Mac Mini Os 10.4 just keeps running how long should I wait for this update to complete.

    The update just keeps running it seems that it will never complete the update like it is stuck in one place with out progress.
    I have the indicator on my screen going but no advancement.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/
    For Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:
    * http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program
    * Firefox 3.6: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • How long does it take for the auto updater to install a new version?

    I've just seen that Flash v11.4.402.287 is available.  How long should I wait for the auto updater to update my system (currently v11.4.402.278)?
    In the past I have waited 2-3 days and the new version still hasn't been installed, even though the Task Scheduler shows that the auto updater is running.  I've then given up and manually installed the new version as I think that this is too long to wait.
    Thanks

    The good news - the auto update has worked this time and I now have v11.4.402.287.
    The not so good news - I've had a look through both flashinstall.log files and there is nothing strange there.  I can see the times when the auto updater has done the update, and also the last 2 times when I've done the update manually.  There aren't any other entries - i.e. the only entries are for successful installations.
    As the update has worked for me this time I think that this can be closed.
    Thanks for your help.
