Peace of mind, whichever level you chose
Kyocera Managed Service Levels are designed to enhance your business operations.
We ensure that the solutions chosen by our customers are implemented and maintained successfully; that they remain optimised and continue to deliver the value you expect.
Our SELECT Service offers a fundamental level of support. Kyocera will collaborate with you, the customer, to optimise license usage and address licensing questions.
Kyocera SELECT goes beyond the vendor’s standard provision, delivering incident support tailored to your specific configurations and implementations.
Reactive support is provided under a Fair Use policy, which is determined by the customer’s licensed device volume. In the event that the effort regularly exceeds the estimated monthly volume, Kyocera will investigate root causes and work with the customer on potential solutions or service improvement strategies.
Kyocera will ensure that as patches and upgrades are made available from respective solution providers, these are communicated and are made accessible to the customer organisation.
Support is made available via Email or via the Kyocera Support web portal.
Covers both Perpetual* or Subscription* licensing.
Software Assurance enables an organisation to access vulnerability patches and updates from the solution vendors.
Kyocera will provide notification of vulnerability patches and updates from the solution vendors.
Kyocera will take-on and own all incidents related to the implemented solution.
SaaS: MyQ Roger, Papercut Hive, KCPS
For organisations embracing a pay-as-you-go “Software as a Service” (SaaS) model, our subscription service is tied to the number of licenses.
It encompasses the customer’s entire platform, including the ‘software assurance’ detailed in SELECT.
In addition to ensuring the maintenance and availability of the SaaS platform, Kyocera will offer support for issue logging, tracking, and escalation on a Fair Use Policy, consistent with the SELECT service.
Additionally, as part of the service, Kyocera will allocate a monthly quota of service requests for Moves, Additions and Changes (MACs), covering administrative tasks prompted by customer service requests.
Service reporting, based on notifications, will provide information on service availability and uptime metrics.
Ticket handling and escalation is based on our Fair Use Policy – this is provided at a rate of one incident per month for every 10 devices.
SELECT for SaaS support is for subscription licensing only.
Kyocera will provide reporting on Service Uptime, Service Requests, Moves, Adds and Changes report volume and platform availability.
The COMPLETE service level builds and enhances the SELECT level by adding proactive elements.
Kyocera will deploy Security Updates on their release, with further revision updates applied every quarter. These regularly combine multiple patches.
There will be one major software version upgrade applied per year to maintain software integrity and enable future patch releases.
The software version will be kept to most recently released and generally available Major Release levels, throughout the service period.
Additional upgrade releases will be made available by Kyocera.
With management support included, ‘COMPLETE’ also provides service reporting, offering customer service performance and SLAs metrics.
Support is made available via Telephone, Email or our Kyocera Support web portal.

Benefits
Kyocera Document Solutions Managed Service ensures our solutions are implemented and maintained successfully, remain optimised and continue to deliver value.
We provide a range of fully managed services so your organisation can concentrate on what it does best.
Perpetual Licensing:
Ownership: With perpetual licensing, you buy a license to use software indefinitely.
Subscription Licensing:
Usage Period: Pay a recurring fee (monthly or annually) to use the software.
In summary, with perpetual licenses you own the software, while with subscription licenses you are renting it.
Perpetual & Subscription Software assurance
Software assurance serves as a safeguard to uphold the software’s integrity, ensuring it remains secure and free from vulnerabilities throughout its lifecycle.
When considering Perpetual Licensing software assurance is provided with additional cost, which may themselves be applied on a subscription basis.
For Subscription Licenses, software assurance aligns with the license term or, in the case of Software as a Service, is inherently part of the license subscription.
