Melbourne, Florida/11 December 2017 – Business aviation connectivity expert Satcom Direct (SD) has launched a new Service Level Agreement (SLA) program to support Inmarsat Jet
ConneX customers, with plans to expand to other platforms throughout 2018. The SLAs include onsite support, proactive monitoring, outage notifications and guaranteed email and phone call
response times.
Building on its existing customer support, the new SD Service Level Agreements are the first-of-akind to be offered to the business aviation sector. Customers can choose between two tiers of
support: Standard and Premium. Both levels support pro-active outage notifications, a commitment to onsite support from an SD field service engineer, root cause analysis of issues to establish
remedial action, and coverage alerts. In addition, the Premium SLA provides continuous connectivity monitoring by the SD Network Operations Center (NOC). Response rates are guaranteed, with Premium SLA customers receiving a phone call within three minutes of initial contact, and an email response time within 30 minutes, while Standard SLA customers will receive an email response within an hour and a phone call within five minutes.
The launch SLAs capitalize on two acknowledged SD strengths, customer service and Jet ConneX expertise. Each member of the 45-strong global field service team has received recognized training and professional accreditation in the industry from providers such as Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco and others. SD is also one of the leading distributors of the Jet ConneX service, which gives SD both insight into its performance as well as troubleshooting expertise. Participation in an SLA ensures that the customer’s investment in Jet ConneX provides the best user experience available.
“We strive to make every customer feel like they are our only customer, as they all receive our bestin-class support. As products like Jet ConneX become more advanced, SD support has had to advance as well, and the new SLAs provide an enhanced service with several additional advantages and guarantees,” says Chris Moore, SD’s Chief Commercial Officer. “Customers who invested in Jet Connex invested in the most expensive connectivity option available. It makes sense that they would want to invest in the best, most responsive customer service available to support it.”
