Emergency Support
We have structured our emergency response protocol to ensure that you can access the BrokerWare™ application 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Occasionally a hiccup can occur causing an outage that will prevent you from gaining access to BrokerWare™. We have implemented a strategy to alert the appropriate people during critical outages.
Following are details of our new emergency contact procedures and how you can notify us after hours.
On Call Staff - Our office is staffed from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm Pacific Time Monday through Friday. If a situation presents itself to require assistance after hours, several of our staff members are "on call" every day. Our on call staff are only available to respond to high priority system outages.
Automated Notifications - Our servers and network are equipped to send out notifications to several of our staff members, informing them of a possible outage. This process is automated, in that once a server starts having a problem it will send out the notice immediately. The alert sent out by our server is directed to our mobile phones and e-mail addresses. So no matter where our staff is, we will be notified by our network.
Phone - We have an Emergency voice mail box which is only active after hours. This mail box will send out notices to our on call staff notifying them of an "Emergency Voice Mail". If you need to leave us a message in this box, please remember to leave the following information: Company Name, Your Name, Problem, and Phone # where you can be reached.
What is classified as an "Emergency"? Please do not use this emergency mail box for any request that can be handled during normal business hours. Any voice mails of such will not be responded to until the following business day.
Feel free to leave us a message if you are experiencing the following:
Server Outage - No one in your company is able to access the BrokerWare™ Servers.
Loss of all Data - All information in the system is not available including loads and customers.
All Associates cannot log on - This is only when no one at the company is able to log on. This does not include one individual or computer having problems getting access.
