SLA - OpenKM Support Service Level Agreement
Version 2.0, latest update October 2015
This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") outlines the terms for using OpenKM's support services under the OpenKM Knowledge Management S.L. Customer Agreement, entered into by OpenKM Knowledge Management S.L. and its users ("you"). This SLA applies individually to each OpenKM on-premises installation. OpenKM reserves the right to modify the terms of this SLA by posting updates on our website or notifying you via email.
Service Level Agreement.
The OpenKM Support Program provides access to our expert support team and guarantees high availability for your application through established SLAs.
OpenKM will deliver quality customer support via an online support portal ("Support Services") Monday through Friday, excluding OpenKM holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (GMT+1). Support Services are limited to addressing suspected service errors or failures and responding to general inquiries about using OpenKM features.
Telephone or Skype support will only be available for "Blocker" level issues and exclusively for a single individual designated by you as your "Administrator" or their designated backup. OpenKM does not provide telephone support to end users; you are responsible for managing all end-user support.
You agree to perform reasonable tasks requested by OpenKM to assist in resolving issues. Before escalating an issue to OpenKM, you will take reasonable steps to verify reported cases, ensuring that the problem originates from the OpenKM service and not your computing or networking infrastructure.
Direct modification of the OpenKM database by the customer is strictly prohibited. Such actions may result in the suspension of support services.
OpenKM is under no obligation to provide support or assistance for issues related to Third-Party Materials.
OpenKM will assign an account manager as your central point of contact for addressing technical service issues. OpenKM reserves the right to reassign the account manager and will notify you in the event of such a change.
OpenKM is not required to provide support for any APIs or integrations you develop using OpenKM’s APIs.

OpenKM discussion tools |
When OpenKM IT staff considers it necessary, they can propose a quick chat with the customer with the following tools:
Other discussion tools are not supported by default by OpenKM, which, if mandatory for the customer policy, may incur an extra cost ( OpenKM IT staff always notify before operating with the server when detecting bad conditions to work with the server ). |
|
OpenKM support with remote server control |
In some scenarios, OpenKM IT staff require access to the OpenKM server to work on issues. In this scenario, the customer must provide access to the server with tools that facilitate remote access with quality standards to operate the remote server ( optimal screen refresh, mouse, and keyword control ). OpenKM IT staff standard tools for remote access are:
In this list, we'll try to detail not-supported scenarios in the case that being mandatory for the customer policy may have extra cost ( OpenKM IT staff always will notify before operating with the server when detecting bad conditions to work with the server ).

|
Daily Backup |
We have not included it. Our goal is to keep your data safe; unfortunately, not all depend on us, and we need your valuable collaboration as server administrators to succeed. OpenKM is not responsible for the Backup system or its proper operation. Our compromise is to help your administrator keep your information safe, but your company should have its Backup policy. Take a look at the Backup best practices section. |
Yes. |
OpenKM support staff is part of the OpenKM research and development team—our engineer works with your team to solve the issue quickly. In addition to connecting the customer and the support team members to resolve issues, the customer comments, questions, and suggestions help us evolve the application. Any production system down issue will be raised to the maximum priority level.
