Summary 

This article explains how to contact Jama Software® Customer Support during a full production outage. It outlines when to escalate an issue as critical, how to contact Support by region, and what information to prepare to help ensure timely triage and resolution.

A full production outage means Jama Connect® is completely unavailable to all users. Partial outages, login issues, or performance degradation may follow different escalation paths.

Resolution

Before contacting Support by phone, confirm that:

  • Jama Connect® is fully unavailable to all users

If you are unsure, have a named Support Contact submit a request through the Support Portal for guidance.
