Logging a support ticket

For registered users, logging a support case is a simple process. For registered customers logging a case directly, the simplest method is to send an email to support@accelerite.com or support@persistent.com and a case is automatically created against your account.

To log a support case on the Persistent/Accelerite Support Portal, navigate to the ‘Submit a request’ page by using the link on the main menu of the same name.

From the ‘Submit a request’ page be prepared to enter the following information:

• Subject: The one line description of the problem / question.
• Description: Detailed description of the problem / question.
• Priority: The urgency of the case, the definitions of the priority of the case are detailed in the definitions section of this document:
• Service Product: Is the case relevant to CloudPlatform or Cloud Portal Business Manager.
• Attachments: If attachments are available, they can be uploaded here provided the attachment is less than 20MB. Larger attachments and log files can be uploaded after interaction with the Persistent/Accelerite Support Team.

Once the information is entered, click the ‘Submit’ button and the case will be logged with Persistent/Accelerite Support.

Once the support ticket is submitted the user will receive an email notification from the Persistent/Accelerite Support Portal. This email will be used to further update the case. Additional email notifications will be sent when the Persistent/Accelerite Support Engineer engages on the case this email notification is sent to the requestor of the case and those in cc. Additional details are provided in the next section.

Trouble tickets can be logged in any language, however, for the fastest response English is the preferred language and Persistent/Accelerite can only guarantee that the language of the assigned engineer will be English.

Note: If the new ticket is priority ‘Urgent’ we advise customers to follow up ticket creation with a phone call in order to provide the fastest response. Numbers are found below. 

Persistent/Accelerite Telephone Support provides the ability to start your enquiries in French or Spanish as well as English. Just select your preferred language option from our menu.
