Service Level Agreements

"We'll Get to It" Is Not a Commitment. A Defined Time Is.

The difference between real support and vague reassurance is a number you can hold. Datacipher commits to defined response and resolution times, both agreed upon and written into your service level agreement. That turns support from an open-ended we’ll get to it into a measurable promise you can count on.

Where Open-Ended Promises Leave You Guessing

Open-Ended Support Is No Promise

When there is no agreed time for how fast help will come, “we’ll get to it” can mean anything. Without a defined commitment, you have no real assurance and no way to plan around when your issue will actually be handled.

Response and Resolution Are Not the Same

Being told someone has seen your issue is not the same as it being fixed. Without both a response commitment and a resolution commitment, you can be left knowing help is aware of the problem but with no sense of when it will actually be solved.

No Number, Nothing to Measure

If there is no defined time, there is nothing to hold support to and no way to tell whether the service is good enough. Support quality becomes a matter of impression rather than something you can actually measure.

The Uncertainty Is Its Own Cost

Not knowing when a problem will be responded to or resolved is a burden on top of the problem itself. That uncertainty makes it impossible to plan, set expectations, or reassure your own people.

Our Solution
Clear Numbers, Agreed in Advance

Datacipher commits to defined response and resolution times as part of your service level agreement, so support comes with real, measurable promises rather than an open-ended wait.

The response time is our commitment to how quickly we will be on your issue once it is raised, so you are never left wondering whether anyone has noticed or when someone will start. The resolution time is our commitment to how quickly the issue will be put right, so you know not just that help is aware, but when the problem will actually be solved. Both are agreed and set as part of your service level agreement, which means they are genuine commitments you can measure us against, not informal intentions. And because you know the times in advance, the uncertainty that makes a problem harder to manage is removed, so you can plan, set expectations, and reassure your own people with confidence.

What Defined Times Cover

Response Time Committed

How quickly we will be on your issue, agreed rather than left open-ended.

Resolution Time Committed

How quickly we will resolve it, defined as a real number, not a vague hope.

Measured, Not Assumed

Commitments tracked against what actually happened, not taken on faith.

A Standard You Can Hold Us To

A defined promise you can point to, not an impression you were left with.

Business Benefits

A Promise You Can Actually Plan Around

01

A Promise You Can Measure

Because response and resolution times are defined and agreed, support comes with real commitments you can hold us to, rather than an open-ended intention with nothing to measure against.

02

You Know When, Not Just Whether

Because both response and resolution are committed, you know not only that your issue will be picked up but when it will actually be resolved, so there is no gap between help being aware and the problem being fixed.

03

A Clear Standard for the Service

Because the times are set and tracked, there is a defined standard the service must meet, so its quality is accountable and measurable rather than a matter of impression.

04

Certainty You Can Plan Around

Because you know the committed times in advance, the uncertainty that makes a problem harder to handle is removed, so you can plan, set expectations, and reassure your people with confidence.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between response time and resolution time?
Response time is our commitment to how quickly we will be on your issue after it is raised, so you know someone has picked it up. Resolution time is our commitment to how quickly the issue will actually be put right. One is about how fast help begins; the other is about how fast the problem is solved. Both are defined in your agreement.
A commitment you can measure is what makes support accountable. Without a defined time, “we’ll get to it” means nothing you can hold us to, and there is no way to tell whether the service is good enough. A defined time turns support into a real, measurable promise rather than an open-ended intention.
No. How fast something needs to be responded to and resolved depends on how urgent and impactful it is, so the committed times are matched to the priority of the issue.
The specific times are agreed as part of setting up your service level agreement, shaped around your environment and priorities, so they fit what your business actually needs rather than a one-size figure.
