- Why are you changing the support system?
-
As a business that has grown over the past 20 years, we have a number of support systems to serve our customers. Our current systems and processes do not enable us to deliver a consistent service to all our customers globally. We have therefore invested in a new global customer support solution which can deliver global support services and provides greater transparency and visibility of all support requests.
- What date does Civica Support Cloud launch?
-
Civica Support Cloud will go live from 5th December 2024. Emails to register will be sent to customers starting from 5th December 2024 to 18th December 2024.
- Are there any contractual changes resulting from the move to Civica Support Cloud?
-
As part of Civica’s ongoing investment in support activities, we are moving the Civica help desk to Service Cloud, a Salesforce product, hosted in the UK (Civica Support Cloud).
As a result, we hereby give you notice that we will be using Civica Support Cloud to provide our support services to you with effect from 5th December 2024.
Existing support arrangements regarding incident priority rating and service levels will remain unchanged.

Although Civica Support Cloud will again time and date stamp these migrated support requests our Support Analysts will continue to manage any SLAs for these requests against the date/time originally recorded in the old system to ensure we comply with our contractual obligations.
Any remaining active tickets in previous systems will be worked on as normal in line with SLA’s until they are closed.
