Tier 2 & Tier 3 IT Escalation Support

Escalation support at a glance
Who this is for
IT managers, internal helpdesks and local MSPs that handle first-line support but need expert backup for Microsoft cloud issues.
When you need this
Recurring Microsoft 365, identity or device problems stay open for days, or your local provider lacks cloud and security depth.
Delivery model
Monthly escalation agreement with defined scope, response targets and handover back to your first-line team.
What is Tier 2 and Tier 3 support?
IT support is usually organized in tiers. Tier 1 handles common requests such as password resets and basic troubleshooting. Tier 2 handles deeper technical issues that need administrative access and product knowledge. Tier 3 covers expert-level problems, root cause analysis and architecture changes. Escalation support gives you Tier 2 and Tier 3 capability without staffing it yourself.
What we handle
- Microsoft 365 – mail flow, Exchange Online, SharePoint permissions, Teams and licensing issues.
- Identity – Entra ID sign-in failures, Conditional Access, MFA and hybrid identity sync.
- Devices – Intune enrollment, compliance, Autopilot and app deployment problems.
- Azure – virtual machines, networking, backup and access issues.
- Security – suspicious sign-ins, compromised mailboxes and Defender alerts, with escalation to our incident response team.
- Root cause analysis – fixes that stop issues recurring, plus knowledge articles for your Tier 1 team.
How escalation works

- Onboard – access, documentation and communication channels.

- Hand back – the user-facing follow-up returns to your first-line team.
