A Xerox Company
Xerox IT services and solutions are customized to fit your specific technology needs. Xerox's
comprehensive process is supported by a specialized team of managers, advocates, and engineers
every step of the way to ensure quality and support for the entire lifecycle of technology. Staff levels are
based on the volume and complexity of the work required to deliver our contractual Service Level
Agreements (SLAs). These resources are "shared" across multiple accounts which provides us the
flexibility to scale based on customer demand. Once our utilization rate reaches a predetermined
threshold, we immediately bring in additional resources, to balance the workload. Our performance
tracking metrics will be recorded on a monthly and quarterly basis to identify and address potential
issues.
Monitoring our performance against Service Level Agreement is enabled by the associated reporting.
Various performance reports are reviewed by the Xerox Delivery Team and shared with our clients on a
regular basis, both monthly and in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR)s. The QBR is a major
component of our Xerox Client Success strategy and supports the governance and a regular cadence
of communication between Xerox and our clients to build and continuously maintain a strong
relationship.
We provide local support across the country using the Xerox network. The POD system is a way for
Xerox Managed IT Services to group customers and engineers. It allows Xerox to provide a small shop
feel with the flexibility of a larger organization. In most cases, we pair up six to eight engineers with forty
to sixty customers. This allows both the customers and engineers to get to know each other, making for
a more familiar experience. It also allows the engineers to learn the customer's environment, which lets
them resolve cases quickly and more accurately.

Xerox utilizes monitoring and alerting tools to identify any disruptions in service and provides relevant
data to the support engineer to reduce the amount of time until the issue is resolved. In most situations,
a support case should be sumitted by e-mail first. If the case requires escalation, call the support phone
number and provide the case number (case numbers are provided with the initial confirmation email.)
Please note that P1 — Critical and P2 — High Incidents require a phone call.You can reach support by
phone, email, or case management system in the city client portal depending on the severity of the
issue (please refer to the SLAs outlined on the following page).
