MTTA Excellence

Mean Time to Acknowledgement represents the cornerstone of customer trust. **Within 10 minutes**, service requests must be assigned to dedicated engineers who provide immediate acknowledgement, setting the foundation for resolution success.

MTTI Precision

Mean Time to Investigate demands systematic problem identification **within 30 minutes**. This includes First Level Troubleshooting alignment, adherence to troubleshooting procedures, and comprehensive log capture for thorough analysis.

FUC Communication

First Update to Customer must occur **within 30 minutes of SR creation**. Engineers share genuine updates only after clear ownership assignment, using appropriate communication templates and sharing meaningful troubleshooting observations.

Our multi-tiered support structure ensures comprehensive coverage from initial customer contact through final resolution. Each level provides specialized expertise while maintaining seamless handoffs and continuous communication with customers throughout the service lifecycle. The visual representation demonstrates our comprehensive approach to service request management, showcasing the interconnected relationships between different operational levels, specialized desks, and support functions that work together to deliver exceptional customer service experiences.

Front Office Operations Excellence

L0 Field Support & IM Desk

  • Professional call and email handling with immediate acknowledgement and first response protocols.
  • Proactive customer outreach for First Level Troubleshooting (FLT).
  • Efficient ticket logging for complaints with comprehensive customer communication.
  • Continuous monitoring of ticket aging across all operational buckets.
  • Strategic escalation management for expedited resolution.

L1 Call Closure Desk

  • Intelligent network alarm correlation for direct assignment to action owners.
  • Comprehensive L1 troubleshooting for issue identification and isolation.
  • Specialized NSA issue handling with customer log collection.
  • Service confirmation protocols and ticket reopening procedures.
  • Root Cause Analysis (RFO) delivery to customers post-resolution.

L2 Managed Service Desk

  • Advanced L2 network troubleshooting for latency, packet loss, and flapping issues.
  • Service down alarm monitoring with immediate customer notification.
  • Network versus CPE alarm isolation with targeted customer outreach.
  • New provisioning and change management for non-commercial requests.
  • Escalated and complex issue resolution management.

Specialized Support Functions

Escalation Management

Three-tiered escalation desk (Level 1, 2, 3) with time-bound resolution commitments. Provides proactive and reactive ETR/ETA updates, ensures end-to-end escalation resolution based on customer satisfaction, and facilitates customer call participation when required.

L3/TAC Excellence

Advanced technical support for complex service issues escalated from L1/L2 teams. Manages TAC case logging with OEMs and vendors for hardware/software issues, provides comprehensive RMA support, and coordinates with Network NOC and field teams for faster resolution.

Change Management

Comprehensive customer impact analysis for network change requests. Manages customer communication for planned events, arranges necessary approvals, handles emergency events, ensures timely activity closure, and maintains accurate inventory updates post-implementation.

Problem Management

Systematic analysis of repeat customer faults with RCA/RCF planning for fault reduction. Coordinates closely with FO/BO/Field teams for SIP action closure, publishes management trackers on repeat incidents, and develops action findings for continuous improvement.

Performance Monitoring

Regular publication of daily, weekly, and monthly performance reports covering utilization, packet loss, latency, jitter, and high losses. Conducts governance reviews to identify gaps and implement systematic fixes for operational excellence.

MSOC - Service Request Flow Architecture

Critical Operational Assumptions

Volume & Distribution

  • SR count from multiple channels (Self Care, Call, Email, Alarm correlated)
  • A% site/network down issues, B% performance degradation
  • C% network alarm correlation for site down SRs
  • Auto field assignment for D% SRs based on network correlation

Resolution Distribution

  • L0 Desk handles outbound FLT after auto correlation
  • E % immediate resolution
  • L1 Desk processes:
    • SRs: Self-resolved X1%
    • Field support X2%
    • L2 escalation X3%
  • L2 Desk: Y1% resolved, Y2% field assignment, Y3% L3/TAC escalation
  • L3/BO Team resolves Z1% SRs with field and Z2% NOC support

Complex Resolution Methodology

1

Multi-Channel Issue Intake

Customer initiates contact via **IVR** for intermittent connectivity flaps. L0 performs immediate on-call **FLT** with network alarm verification and comprehensive log collection request.

2

Progressive Technical Analysis

L1 conducts initial troubleshooting with no immediate flapping observed, escalating to **L2** for advanced analysis. L2 investigation reveals need for specialized **L3/TAC** intervention.

3

Expert-Level Intervention

L3/TAC performs network-level troubleshooting with port resets and **CRC** counter analysis. **NOC** engagement includes physical layer investigation and port configuration optimization.

4

OEM Coordination & Field Execution

**TAC** case opening with **OEM** for hardware log analysis. Field engineer deployment coordinates with **FSE** for card replacement during scheduled maintenance window.

5

Comprehensive Resolution

Service restoration confirmation through customer validation. Complete documentation includes **RFO** with root cause analysis and preventive recommendations for similar issues.

This workflow exemplifies our commitment to resolving the most challenging technical issues through systematic escalation, expert collaboration, and unwavering focus on customer satisfaction throughout complex troubleshooting processes.
