After-hours and Emergency Support

Critical cases are defined as follows: "Client’s production use of the Penelope Software is stopped or so severely impacted that no User can reasonably continue to use or access the Software." Critical requests have one or more of the following characteristics:

  • (a) data corruption

  • (b) Software hangs causing unacceptable delays or

  • (c) the Software is inaccessible to all Users. Target response time for Critical/Business Down cases will be 2 hour. More on case priorities here.

All the following actions will open a critical incident:

  • Open a critical priority support ticket in the support portal.

  • Email penelope@bonterratech.com with the word "Critical" in the subject line.

  • Leave a voicemail on our emergency line at 1-469-874-0792 Ext. 3


Cases & Issues

When users contact Customer Support, a case will be entered into our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system resulting in a unique case number. This case number will be given to the customer and will be left open until the inquiry is answered or the issue is resolved. Each time a user contacts Support with a different question or issue, a new case will be entered into the CRM system and the corresponding case number will be issued to the customer.

  • When you contact support, regardless of reason, we will log a Case.

  • When you email support, you will receive an automated email about the Case creation with the case number.

  • If you encounter what is determined to be a bug, we will log a defect and attach it to your Case so that you will be notified when the issue is resolved.
