Response time is the time it takes to return contact to you and start working on the resolution. Resolution time is the date and time a given problem is resolved or question answered. Because of the potential for 3rd parties and unknown situations, EasyServerManagement Inc cannot provide a guaranteed resolution time when dealing with critical events or down systems.
