Our escalation process
Closing your Customer Support Case
Take the time to confirm when your Support Case can be closed. This will cut down on unnecessary telephone calls, and allow our Support teams to concentrate on other outstanding issues. Additionally, you can close your Support case Online via Progress SupportLink.
When will Support close your Support Case?
Engineers will only close cases when the issue is resolved, and with your agreement, unless:
- Support has tried repeatedly to contact you, and you have not responded.
- A timescale has been agreed in advance for when the case can be closed if we have not heard from you.
Reopening a Support Case
If the issue is not resolved, the Support Case can be reopened via Progress SupportLink or Phone. When reopening a Support Case please provide the reason for reopening the case as well as any new information that was not available when the case was closed. If encountering a new issue, open a new Support Case to enable our engineers to focus on individual problems.
