CRM Support

F1 is a Microsoft Gold Partner with over 18 years experience in the CRM marketplace. Detailed below are the various ways of getting support from Microsoft CRM.

These can be summarised as follows:

  • Newsgroups are available at http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx  Referring to these can be quite useful for minor less important problems.  

  • Microsoft CRM bugs and errors are also listed on http://www.kbalertz.com/ where you can also request that you be emailed whenever Microsoft publishes new CRM issues to its Knowledge Base.

  • Microsoft Support Incidents: Microsoft have updated their T & C and now, as part of the eOpen licence that F1 sells, each customer has 2 off 4 hour response incidents / CRM server licence which can be used for up to 2 years from date of purchase.

If you require more you can purchase additional Microsoft support incidents from F1 at cost of £115 + vat each (8 hour response) or for a pack of 10 at cost of £900 + vat (4 hour response).

F1 / Microsoft CRM Support Procedure

The procedure for reporting Microsoft CRM incidents is as follows:

  1. Customer either sends email support@f1comp.co.uk or calls 01225 336096 and ask for F1 CRM Support team.

  2. F1 CRM Support team adds a CRM case onto our CRM system and provides a case ID.

  3. Support Team will then either resolve problem FOC directly with customer or, if complex issue, report the problem promptly with Microsoft CRM support team co-ordinator using one of your support incidents.

  4. Microsoft CRM support team co-ordinator will in turn raise a SRQ case incident.

  5. Within 4 or 8 (see above) work hours, a expert Microsoft CRM support team engineer will contact us/you, ask the relevant technical questions and then work their way through the problem. They usually like to start a screen sharing session to look at the problem in detail (all under your visual supervision).

  6. When the problem is solved both the case and SRQ will be closed.
