Created by Damien Zwillinger, Modified on Wed, 6 Dec, 2023 at 8:41 PM by Damien Zwillinger

As a Vendor (Velixo) and a Value-added reseller partner (You), we have both made commitments through the Velixo partner agreement, to supporting each other's and our customers the best that we can. 


One of those commitments is about providing direct Support to your customers in a Level 1 capacity.


Understanding the different Support levels, our responsibilities as well as the overall escalation process is critical to the functioning of our relationship. This is what this article is about.
