The IBM Service Request [SR] tool provides a single electronic support entry point to log and track all of your technical support requests. Clients who use the SR tool tell us the benefits are measurable.
Benefits of electronic Service Request (SR) entry
- Faster creation of service requests – the SR tool lets you create and maintain your own unique profile, simplifying submission and speeding the SR create process. No need to reenter contact information and contact or product preferences. Once and done
- Better problem descriptions – Free text forms let you enter detailed problem descriptions in your own words, ensuring that IBM's technical support representatives understand exactly what you need the first time.
- Shorter communication path to the experts – An attach function within the SR tool makes it easy to relay all relevant documentation (logs, configuration and diagnostic files) when you create and update a support request, saving you time and helping to ensure a faster, more informed response from an IBM technical support specialist.
- Real time support request management – Online access to your service requests means you can view updates made by IBM, provide updates and responses when required and access easy-to-use self-assist resources from anywhere, anytime, in real time.
- Easier collaboration – Secure, authorized access to SR means you're able to view and update your Site's service requests across departments and across your entire organization whether you're contributing as part of a larger team or backing up a colleague.
- Complete and customized reporting – SR reporting capabilities let you sort and filter your report to your liking. You may even download reports to a spreadsheet to allow further customization.
