Service Plans

Omneon offers two distinct service and support plan types — System Service Plans and the Omneon Advantage Plan — depending on the Omneon products to be covered. The System Service Plans (Silver, Gold, and Platinum) are uniquely designed to support Omneon systems products, such as Omneon MediaGrid, Spectrum and MediaDeck. The Omneon Advantage Plan provides support for the growing portfolio of Omneon MediaTools and software applications, such as ProBrowse, ProXchange, ProDrive and other similar products.

Silver Service

The Silver Service Plan is designed for customers who generally have their own on-site technical support resources, choose to rely primarily on Omneon service through 24x7 telephone and email support, and prefer to pay for on-site Omneon support on a per visit basis, as needed. The Silver plan provides for an advance exchange product replacement response time of three business days and provides Remote Support via modem or VPN for troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes. Most importantly, customers who purchase a Silver service plan are eligible to receive Omneon software maintenance releases.

Gold Service

The Gold Service Plan is designed for those customers requiring a higher level of direct support from Omneon or quicker parts response time. It provides for Remote Support similar to the Silver plan, but also includes a regularly scheduled remote system health check, on-site emergency service, and advance exchange product replacement with a response time of two business days. Customers who purchase the Gold service plan are eligible to receive both Omneon maintenance and major upgrade software releases.

Platinum Service

The Platinum Service Plan is designed for customers with the most stringent, mission-critical requirements. The Platinum plan includes all of the service features provided in the Gold service plan, plus priority call handling and case management, advance exchange with next business day product replacement response time, constant remote system connectivity (with customer approval), system alerts monitoring and event notification.

Platinum customers receive on-site support as required to resolve technical issues1, including an annual on-site system audit and preventative maintenance visit. Platinum customers are also enrolled in the Omneon System Availability Service (SAS), which in the event of a natural disaster, provides customers with an immediate damage assessment and expedited delivery and installation of replacement products in an effort to get a mission-critical system back into operation as soon as possible.

Omneon Spares Depot Locations

Omneon maintains regional depots at critical locations globally to provide inventory, parts replacement and logistics management – ensuring parts are delivered to customers on time to meet the specific response times provided for in the standard warranty, as well as purchased service plans - worldwide. Currently Omneon maintains spare parts logistics facilities in California, Belgium, Delhi, Singapore, Tokyo and Beijing.

On-Site Spares

Customers having more stringent spare part delivery response requirements than those provided in the three Omneon service plans, or customers or who have deployed exceptionally large or complex system architectures, should consider the purchase of an on-site spares kit to ensure the highest degree of spares availability. Upon request, Omneon technical support personnel will analyze a customer's system architecture and recommend an On-Site Spares Kit customized to meet the unique requirements of each Omneon system. Omneon provides warranty and service plan coverage for any product purchased as part of an On-Site Spares Kit.

2 Delivery times are valid for customers within Omneon Parts Response Areas (PRA). Those customers located outside of Omneon PRAs will receive a delivery response of 2 Business Days to point of importation, or better. A list of Omneon Parts Response Areas (PRAs) will be maintained and updated regularly on the Omneon Web Site.

3 In order to receive support under this plan, customers must provide Omneon with remote system access. Such access may be provided on a temporary “as needed, per incident” basis, if necessary. All Omneon Remote Support services are predicated upon a) customer approval for remote access and b) customer having the appropriate network infrastructure, facilities, and security approvals to support and permit remote access via VPN or Modem
