Connects Directly to the Network Experts at Cisco
When a network problem is affecting business-critical systems, get fast access to technology experts with experience in diagnosing the toughest problems. Cisco SP Base Service connects you directly to the Cisco TAC, staffed by Cisco professionals certified in a broad range of Cisco products, service provider architectures, and advanced technologies. The Cisco TAC employs a sophisticated system that helps ensure that your service request is automatically routed to the appropriate technology team and automatically escalated to the next level of support if it is not resolved within a specified timeframe. To confirm the right remediation action, Cisco engineers can test solutions in a laboratory environment that simulates your network.

The Cisco TAC is available around the clock and around the globe, with support available in local languages. If your assigned TAC engineer changes for any reason before your service request is resolved, a personal handoff is completed between all parties to provide service continuity through issue resolution. You can confer with Cisco TAC engineers in a way that is most convenient and useful for you, including email, telephone, and web-based collaboration. Throughout a TAC engagement, the goal of every Cisco engineer is to empower your staff through active knowledge transfer.

Online Troubleshooting Tools Accelerate Problem Resolution
