The work instruction details some of the activities that will be performed by Customer Service and Client Service personnel in solving customer-reported problems with the networks maintained by Software Power.

Client Service

The following procedure is to be used by Client Support personnel when making on on-site visit to a customer to repair a customer-reported problem.

  • The customer reports the problem (by phone or e-mail) to Customer Service employee. If the Customer Service employee decides that the problem requires an on-site visit from a Client Support employee, the Customer Service employee generates a Client Service Order (Form 1BB-2B) containing the customer-reported problem and customer information. [If the Customer Service employee decides that the problem does not require on on-site visit, the phone or e-mail is forwarded to the Client Consulting Department and no further action is taken by the Customer Service employee.]
  • The Customer Service employee assigns a Client Support employee to handle the client problem and e-mails Form 1BB-2B to the assigned Client Support employee.
  • The assigned Client Support employee reads Form 1BB-2B and contacts the customer to arrange the on-site visit.
  • At the customer site, the Client Support employee troubleshoots to locate and/or duplicate the source of the problem.
  • If the Client Support employee cannot locate and/or duplicate the problem, the Client Support employee notifies the on-site customer representative, completes Section 2 of Form 1BB-2B, requests the on-site customer representative sign the bottom of Section 2, and leaves the customer site.
  • If the problem is located and /or duplicated, it must be determined if hardware and/or software is/are to be replaced. If hardware is replaced, the Client Support employee completes Form 2AA-5A, then replaces the hardware. If software is replaced, the repair technician completes Form 2CC-5C, then replaces the software.
  • The Client Support employee tests the system, completes Section 2 of Form 1BB-2B, requests the on-site customer representative sign the bottom of Section 2, and leaves the customer site.
