Attentus Technologies seeks to clarify expectations whenever possible. We have written up this document to work as a guideline and, if followed, allows the appropriate times to deliver the high quality outcomes expected by our clientelle.

Please take a moment to read through the Service Level Agreements for each type of request. We realize emergencies happen so will always endeavor to meet the needs as they arise.

Emergency After-Hours Support:

Only authorized approvers can request emergency after-hours support.  When requesting emergency after-hours support please leave a voicemail at 253-218-6015 option 2.  A trouble ticket will be generated by the system and a technician will contact you as soon as possible.  Please include relevant information pertaining to the issue and clearly state that you are requesting emergency after-hours support.

Onsite Service Requests:
Onsite service requests that are not considered an emergency should be communicated to Attentus in advance giving us 1-2 days prior notice.

Network Administrator Communication:
While our Network Administrator is visiting onsite their primary responsibility is to focus on auditing and performing maintenance to your environment. It may be tempting to ask them to solve a quick problem. Instead, please submit your general request to our help desk team and they will loop in our Net Admin if they are needed to assist in solving the issue.

Our Network Administrators send a completed maintenance and audit report after each monthly or quarterly review. Please reply to their questions within 1 week to make sure they are resolved in a timely manner.

vCIO Communication:
If an environmental change occurs to your technology in any way, even if it’s for something not managed by Attentus, please communicate this to us in advance. For example, if you decide to utilize a new line of business applications, transition Internet providers, buy new equipment on your own for example, we still want to be in the loop. Communication is key to understanding expectations. We need to document this change in our systems. Adding information about the new vendor, adding maintenance or expiration details along with other critical system information.

If a conflict or issue occurs with a ticket or project around performance or deadlines, please notify your vCIO.
