Support Levels for 3rd Party Technologies
Supported
We provide support for any problems directly caused by DESK. DESK has access to this technology and can typically reproduce common problems in-house but an environment may have to be set up on-demand.
Limited support
DESK provides support for a limited set of functionality for a particular technology. In most cases DESK does not have access to technology that has limited support. For any problems DESK support will be able to help you, if it can reproduce the problem in the fully supported technology that forms basis for the limited support.
