Response Time

Under normal conditions, CIT’s target response (a response is when a request has been acknowledged and assigned) for typical support requests is one business day. Management staff monitor requests remaining in the queue and assign priority based on the following criteria:

Urgent

Any unscheduled outage with wide-ranging business impact requiring immediate resolution, or problems that would affect the productivity of multiple people. For example, services are unavailable due to the server being down. For Urgent requests, call 607-255-5500 and state the issue as “Urgent.” Response time: within one business hour.

High

Issue affecting a single customer who cannot perform their job. For example, a computer will not power up, a customer is unable to log onto a computer, or a hard drive has failed. Response time: within four business hours.

Normal

Issue affecting a single customer, limiting their ability to perform their job. For example, a customer is unable to print to a particular printer but can print elsewhere. Response time: within one business day.
