189.0. "The AES issue" by KERNEL::PETTET (Norm Pettet CSC Basingstoke) Wed Aug 03 1994 23:01

    Chaps,
    
    	In order to get a better visibility of AES problem requests how
    about creating a queue specifically for AES. AES requests are typically
    not as urgent as a system crash, down system etc so why have them in
    the Systems queue. Brian Anthony believed we would only get 3-5 requests 
    logged per day. I think that number is significantly greater and needs to 
    be tracked on the impact its causing our group. Last month we were handling
    50-60% live call handling. On current performance I doubt whether we are 
    even getting close to 30%.
    
    	Perhaps ( man power permitting ) one engineer could be assigned to
    handle the AES requests on a daily basis. In that way we would probably
    get up to speed alot quicker.  
    
    
    	Please discuss.
    
    		Regards,

    I disagree with a new queue.
    I disagree with one person on a daily basis doing AES calls.
    I agree that we get more AES calls per day than was expected.

    I disagree with a new queue
    
    I disagree with an assigned person per day. ( We can't manage live call
    handling on todays manpower, without taking another person out.)
    
    Yes, we are getting more calls than was first thought, but I find that
    the majority can be dealt with off-line. Very few require immediate 
    & constant attention. In the main, I've found that they can be
    researched off line and an update given to the customer, some days
    later. Only a few have needed someone to go to site, and then, only to 
    install the latest version, when it fixes the customer's bug.
