Contact center preparation
Genesys Cloud is a contact center platform that helps prepare for adoption by providing advice from Genesys consultants on key areas like planning, enablement, testing, and more. The articles cover preparation questions and actions to collect data, identify business needs, educate teams, make schedules, assign roles, analyze planning data, and prepare for testing. Recommendations include reading the articles, discussing questions and actions as a team, delegating tasks to appropriate agents, remaining flexible but avoiding major disruptions, and focusing on action items to ensure readiness to partner on system configuration.
Customer Care
Genesys Cloud's comprehensive support system operates globally with 24/7 availability through multiple channels, including web portal, phone, and self-service options. Support access is granted to designated contacts who complete the My Support registration process, with credentials delivered within 48 hours. The service implements a tiered support structure based on license types (Collaborate, Communicate, or Genesys Cloud CX 1-4) and features specialized support models for US and EEA regions. Issues are categorized into three primary severity levels: Critical (Level 1) for business-critical failures, High (Level 2) for degraded performance, and Medium (Level 3) for non-critical issues. Response times vary by severity, with Critical issues receiving 10-minute phone response and others getting 2-hour responses through the support portal. Platform-level restoration targets range from 4 hours for Critical issues to 5 business days for Medium severity, with Root Cause Analysis provided within five business days for Critical incidents. Case management requires designated contacts to perform initial troubleshooting, maintain active engagement, and provide detailed information including organization ID and issue descriptions. Cases can be escalated based on priority and business impact, with specific requirements for both high and low-priority escalations. Unresponsive cases are closed after three business days, while resolved cases close three days after resolution if no issues are reported. Recent documentation updates have refined terminology, updated portal links, and streamlined the case escalation process.
