Stellar Library Support.
We offer direct support for the Stellar Library Librarians via the support page on our website. Once a support email is sent we aim to acknowledge this with in 4 hours. This is during New Zealand business hours of 8.00 am to 6.00pm )
If the issue is of a technical nature ie a problem with either the servers or tablets we will forward this on to the development team. Depending on the priority, see “Priority Definitions” a response by them will be as defined. We will endever to keep the customer upto date on the issues each evening or as agreed with the customer.
If the issue is of a non technical we will either communicate via email or phone to resolve the issue. Our response time to this will be with in 8 hours of first receiving your support email.
For selected customers they have the CEO direct mobile phone number to report any P1 issues.
Stellar Library also has in place several applications to monitor the program so that we can be proactive identify issue before customers experience them. These applications are.
- Pingdom – This alerts the team that the servers are down – We are able to then action our response to this situation directly with the development team
- Hockeyapp – this allerts the development team that an iPad had closed unexpectedly and reports back why this issue has occurred. We have in place a process to review these files from Hockeyapp daily to identify any issues that are coming through. Through this process we are able to see which iPad has caused the problem and if needed contactt the recipiant ( iPad user ) to understand what he or she was doing to cause the app to close.
