We will endeavour to achieve the target SLA times with all good intention but note that during unusually high workloads, these target times may be extended. The reference to 'hours' takes into account the operating hours of your local StorMan Support Centre.
StorMan may be able to assist with sitedown emergencies on the weekend. If you cannot open your software on the weekend please call our Australian or New Zealand offices and leave a message describing the problem with a telephone number to call you back on. We will attempt to help you as soon as possible, while recognising that our support staff do not work on weekends.
