• A series of notification emails are sent to inform the customer about the downtime status.
• These notification emails are sent to the customer’s registered IT contacts.
• In case of an unplanned system downtime, first  downtime notification is sent.The customers will also receive interim update notifications about system status for downtimes that last more than 1 hour.
• In case the issue can be resolved immediately then “Issue Identified and Resolved” notification is sent. The customers will also receive interim update notifications about system status for downtimes that last more than 1 hour.
• Once the system reverts to normal behavior, customers are notified about restoration of normal service.

For all productive systems, root cause analysis (RCA) will be communicated to customers as soon as the root cause is identified.
However, the investigation takes sometime, you should receive the RCA on the next 14 days or sooner via the standard communication channel.

There is no need to open an case requesting it, as it is an automatic process.
