Severity Definitions

IBM will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to cases raised by your authorized contacts within the criteria specified for your offering. Our initial response may result in resolution of your request, or it will form the basis for determining what additional actions may be required to resolve your request. Be sure you and your support professional agree on what the next action is and when the next checkpoint will be. Cases opened outside Business Hours that do not qualify for 24x7 response will be responded to the next business day.

Visit the IBM Support Guide to select a product area for the specific Response Goals for each offering.

If at any point in our service process you feel we are not meeting your needs, you may call our attention to your case.
