Business Continuity Plan

The goal of creating a Business Continuity Plan for eParivahan is to make sure that the company can continue to operate during and after any disruptive incident.

In the event of a calamity that might prevent the SaaS services from functioning this document will assist to organise EParivahan’s system recovery . The plan is intended to incorporate all the information that may have been necessary throughout the recovery, or at the very least to highlight the concerns. The strategy is designed to secure the viability of EParivahan’s SaaS service offering.

eParivahan Business Continuity Management Plan

eParivahan prioritises its most vital business procedures and those of its most significant clients. eParivahan strives to maintain client access to its services during business interruptions and until normal business activities resume.

The BCP/DR drills are built using a thorough audit plan, application, execution, and integration of the acquired information to assess the effectiveness and readiness of the business continuity plan.

The objective of this business continuity strategy is consistent with eParivahan‟s business continuity management system (BCMS) policy.

It explains what must be stated, how it must be expressed, and what must be done in the event of a catastrophe or other scenario that disrupts company operations.

It will provide eParivahan with a well-researched strategy and procedure for restarting services at suitable service standards within acceptable timeframes in order to reduce company losses, provide cost-effective solutions, and supply alternative services.

The Enterprise Support Terms for eParivahan (“EST”)

These Enterprise Support Terms (EST) are provided by eParivahan if you agree to the following terms and conditions, which will not alter during the first term of your service subscription. If the service subscription is renewed, the version of this EST in effect at the beginning of the renewal period will be utilised for the duration of the renewal term.

Services of Support

Here are the details of how eParivahan will provide support service to an eligible organization (“Customer”) for the applicable on-premise software (“Products”). This support service, or parts of it, can also be called the EParivahan Enterprise Support Program in the past.

Contact eParivahan Customer Care (EParivahan Support) to find out if you are eligible for this support service and if it applies to you.

Change Request

A new change or improvement that is reported as a service request, support incident, or change request will not be included in the “eParivahan Support Policies: Enterprise Support Terms” mentioned above.

Remote Access

eParivahan can ask the customer for remote access to provide support services. Suppose asked, and the customer agrees to offer remote access. In that case, eParivahan can examine any or all customer systems that have the EParivahan products installed remotely through an external computer that eParivahan controls to deliver support services to the customer.

Incident or Service Request

Any support incident or service request that (a) doesn‟t involve the production environment or (b) asks for data that isn‟t available in the production environment won‟t be covered by the “eParivahan Enterprise Support Program.”

Processing of Service Request

In order to get support services from eParivahan, the customer must inform eParivahan what went wrong with the product.

When eParivahan gets a report of an incident or a request for service, it will have the right to,

  • i. Define the intensity of the problem or service request in contract with the user or according to the “Case sensitivity or Priority Level determination.”
  • ii. Confirming that they have received the concerns or service request within the specified amount of time (“Response Time”) through the prefered communication channel.

The Right to Change the Response Time

eParivahan has the right to change the target response time from time to time in order to give better customer service. eParivahan will let the customer know in writing 60 days before any major changes to the response time listed here, which must be agreed upon by both parties.

The problem, Service Request, or Change Request Resolution

As the eParivahan support team gets a report of a problem or a request for a service, they will communicate with the client to figure out what‟s wrong and fix it.

eParivahan support team considers an issue, service request, or change request to be resolved if any or all of the following are true:

  • i. The problem is caused by software from a third party. In this case, if necessary, EParivahan Support will continue to help the client or third party solve the problem in a reasonable way
  • ii. The eParivahan support team confirms that the problem is fixed via email or a recorded phone call.
  • iii. The client doesn‟t answer a question or request from support for three (3) follow-ups via emails or phone calls in a row.
  • iv. EParivahan Support looks at the change request and either sends the customer to the team in charge of the change or asks the customer to get in touch with the team in charge of the change, but the customer willingly decides not to connect.
  • v. The client confirms via email or a recorded call that they don‟t need any more help or that the incident, service request, or change request has been closed.

The EST for resolution will be based on the time it takes to solve each incident or service request. Every incident or service request that a client makes should have a genuine problem or service request, and if the incident or service request is already permanently closed, the client shouldn‟t add another one mentioning the same problem.
