Genesys Cloud EEA-only support
Customers in highly regulated industries (such as healthcare, finance and government) sometimes require service vendors to comply with specific data provisions. The Genesys Cloud EEA-only support offer is intended for those customers and it ensures that all product support tickets will be assigned to EEA-based analysts. In addition, data processed and generated by Genesys Cloud will be stored and retained in the EEA.
Provisions of Genesys Cloud EEA-only support include:
- Severity level 1 (Critical) issue support is available 24 hours a day in the EEA-only.
- Severity level 2-4 (High, Medium, Low) issue support is available from 9:00 to 18:00 CET Monday through Friday in the EEA only. After 18:00 CET, you can submit non-emergency issues through the MySupport portal to be addressed the next business day.
- EEA-based customer data in Genesys Cloud is stored only in the EEA.
- Genesys information security personnel and other Genesys technical personnel who are located outside of the EEA may access Customer Data that resides within the EEA in order to perform essential troubleshooting and code-level analysis, as needed. This includes data uploaded by a customer to a Genesys FTP site.
- If an EEA-only call gets routed to non-eligible support personnel, the Genesys support system is equipped with a button to “Send to EEA Analyst” to expedite the transfer to the correct personnel.
- The Genesys Cloud EEA-only support service has additional costs and minimum commitments along with special terms and notes in the sales order. Contact your Genesys partner or sales representative for details.
