Subject: I: Our first DASP customer


On 1st October we go 'live' with Siemens AG, our first DASP customer 
(Digital Assisted Services Programme).  DASP is a new Service offering 
from DAS and provides Self-Maintenance customers with access to 
hardware telephone support from the CSC and on-site per call service 
with guaranteed response and workthrough.  

Whilst this is a South Region Account, it is a European level 
Agreement made between Siemens AG and Digital.  Siemens supply and 
maintain Body Scanners to hospitals throughout this area.  When their 
Engineer is on site and needs help, he will call the appropriate 
country Siemens' Technical Assistance Centre, where their own Support 
Engineers will assist over the phone as far as possible.  If they need 
any help, the Support Engineer will then ring us here at the CSC (call 
flow as attached).

As you will see, the calls will be responded to within Focal Call 
Management.  They are however not a Focal Call Customer in the full 
sense, (i.e. we are not tracking the call once it has left the CSC) 
and Siemens do not have this expectation.  This is partly an exercise 
to pilot a service incorporating Response and a flavour of Focal Call,  
where we monitor the call during its life in the CSC.  Any delays in 
response and diagnosis will be very visible, particularly to a patient 
inside the Scanner!

From 1st October we will be supporting 10 Scanners in the initial 
period and therefore volumes will be low in the short term.  These are 
run by PDP11/24 and 11/84s.  Frank is currently working with P&TG to 
ensure sufficient skills in this area.  I have also confirmed with 
Richard Hough that we have skills within Devices to support the RC25s.  
As you will see in my attached mail, I have suggested that possibly 
three of our Engineers (suggest 2 Systems and 1 Device) visit the 
Siemens Call Desk at Sunbury on Thames to provide some sort of focus 
and ownership for their calls.  Frank and Mick can you please advise 
me on availability for this visit?

Please can you make sure all your people are aware of this service we 
are offering to Siemens.  If you have any questions or concerns, 
can you raise them with me as soon as possible.  

Regards

Sue Stevens

Subject: I: Draft Procedures for Siemens/DASP calls into the CSC

George,

I have attached a draft copy of the proposed call flow for Siemens 
(Telephone Assistance Centre) calling the Customer Support Centre in 
Basingstoke.  I am happy that the customer sees this document.  From 
an internal point of view however, we are trying something new; a 
cross between Focal Call Management and 'bulk standard' Response!  
Whilst the latter could cope professionally with this business, this 
option gives us the opportunity to monitor calls with this customer 
and also gives me an insight to a possible standard service for the 
future.


Outstanding Actions/Questions

1.  I plan to discuss customer/system registering in more detail with 
    Bob Aubery, date to be confirmed tomorrow.  (Action: Bob)

2.  Names of Siemens Support Engineers calling us would be useful in 
    advance.  We aim to give a personal service!  (Action: George/ 
    Colin F)

3.  Looking through everyone else's notes and mails, I am not sure 
    whether there are plans to connect remotely to any of these 
    systems.  The CSC needs to be aware of this prior to any calls.  
    This as I say may be old ground but I would like confirmation.  
    (Action: George / Colin F)

4.  From a Diagnosis point of view, we are planning to have three 
    technical Specialists specifically focusing on the needs of this 
    Account.  I would therefore like to arrange with Colin Flint for 
    these people to visit Siemens (TAC) as soon as possible.  This 
    should then be followed by Siemens visiting the CSC at a later 
    date (when we have really ramped up the skills!). (Action: 
    Sue/Colin F)



Please let me know if there's anything you need clarified before your 
trip.  Hope everything goes well.


Regards

Sue Stevens

Subject: European Countries call handling

Gentlemen,

In response to the requirements of the North European Country Group (NECG) for 
Out-Of-Hours Remote Diagnosis, the UK CSC will be accepting calls officially 
from 1st October 1990.

This is a permanent arrangement, using the same call flow concept that we 
adopted for the Germany/Austria/Switzerland agreement :

		Customer <--> Local Digital contact <--> CSC
		    ^					  |
		    `- - - - - - - -  RD - - - - - - - - -'

From 1st October, Holland and Denmark are ready to go. Other NECG countries 
(Belgium, Norway, Sweden and Finland) will be incorporated when/if they decide 
they want to implement our call flows. The individual country CSC managers will 
then contact me or Garry Marsh to agree details and start dates.

Full information will be available on Router and RSDS before starting.
    
    
    Regards Mike Roe

The following call flow is generic for any Continental country that we agree
to provide OOH RD support for. (Note that this does NOT include S/W support.)

Notes:

1 .  The Country Contact will be a Digital person, either a standby engineer,
     duty manager or on-site engineer. Access to them may be via an external 
     agency. Any country-specific arrangements will be documented on ROUTER.
 .   Validation (export compliance) will be the responsibility of the local 
     country contact. 
 .   If an RD session is required, then the country contact will phone the 
     CSC with :

                Company Name and on-site contact name/phone number
                CPU type and serial number
                Modem number and baud rate
                Problem statement
                Account name and password for access to customer's system
                Country Contact's name and phone number for follow up

2.   ROUTER will have the call flows for each country.
 .   CCD log a call on RSDS using MESSAGExxx (xxx = first 3 letters of the
     country) and enter any special info in the Notepad field.
 .   CCD give the country contact the RSDS log number for reference.
 .   CCD route the call to the appropriate Diagnosis group.
 .   CCD create a CLOG entry using xxx as the cost centre, and update the
     entry as needed.
 .   Diagnosis connect to the customer's system, analyse the fault and pass
     the Notify to CCD. (Alternative Cost Centre Notify may also be used.)

3.   Any language difficulties should be referred to the Country Contact 
     (either by the Diagnosis engineer or CCD) for assistance.
 .   CCD pass the Notify information to the country contact and close the
     CLOG entry.
