Microsoft Escalation

Insight escalates issues through our support tiers as necessary and maintains a Premier Support Agreement with Microsoft for issues which are deemed by Insight as requiring Microsoft escalation. When escalating to Microsoft, Insight adheres to Microsoft’s severity levels. Severity levels are assigned to a case when it is opened, based on an assessment of the issue type and customer impact.

Issue resolution times may be dependent on Microsoft. Please refer to Microsoft documentation regarding its support Service Level Objectives, such as at https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/view/Service-Level-Agreements-SLA-for-Online-Services.
