Eclaim. com • Eclaim is the web based application used for all warranty transactions, including warranty parts ordering. • Once the systems reflect completion of RXW 01 (two business days after test completion), email support@eclaim. com to request an eclaim serial number and password. The email must include your name, five digit location id, email address, company name and telephone number. • Your eclaim login information will then be emailed back to you within eight business hours. Once your technicians have completed the necessary training you will be set up for placing claims. (Your logon will give you access to https: //wca. eclaim. com ) • The Service Management Support Center can support you on any non technical questions you may have with Eclaim.

Eclaim. com (continued) Performance Measurements are also found in e. Claim

Eclaim. com - User Accounts and Security Best Practices • • Additional Eclaim Administrator accounts Have more than one Eclaim Administrator account for your Eclaim Serial Number (you can have up to three). The Eclaim Administrator account is important because it is able to add and delete users within the Eclaim Serial Number as well as change user account information, including User ID, password, and authorizations to Eclaim functions. Having a "backup" Eclaim Administrator account can be very helpful. • If you are an Eclaim Administrator, you can see a list of all login accounts for your Eclaim Serial Number by selecting the User Access Control menu item. The User Access Control function will display a list of all users for your Eclaim Serial Number, with their user ID, last name, first name, group (which indicates if they are an Eclaim Administrator or User type), active indicator, and last access date and time. If no other user in the list displays "Eclaim Administrator" under the Group heading, there is no secondary Administrator. To update an existing user to the Eclaim Administrator group, click on the user’s User ID and select Eclaim Administrator in the User Group field. • • Do not share Eclaim logins Each person accessing Eclaim. com should have their own Eclaim login account, with their own User ID and a password that only they know. This provides the best security for the Eclaim application and your business data. • If you are an Eclaim Administrator, you can add users by selecting the User Access Control menu item and clicking the "Add New User" button. • • SPM Service Manager It is important to keep your Business Partner information up to date in the Service Partner Management (SPM) system, particularly the Service Manager information. Eclaim Technical Support uses the Service Manager information to confirm password reset requests from Eclaim Administrators. Note that password reset requests received from those with user level login accounts are referred to the local Business Partner Eclaim Administrator. Eclaim Technical Support can only reset passwords for Eclaim Administrators, and only when the Service Manager can be verified in SPM. Password resets for Eclaim Administrators can be avoided if a secondary Administrator has been created for the location (see instructions above). Eclaim Administrators can reset passwords for both the user group level and the administrator group level. • You can access SPM at http: //www. ibm. com/pc/partner/spm/. Please review the SPM "Contacts view" for the current designated Service Manager, indicated as contact type "SM". • • Maintaining Eclaim logins Eclaim is designed to be a "self managed" application, meaning that each Business Partner Eclaim Administrator is responsible for the management of login accounts for their Eclaim Serial Number. The issuance of Eclaim. com User IDs and the protection of User ID passwords is the sole responsibility of the Business Partner. It is highly recommended Business Partner Eclaim Administrators periodically review the active Eclaim users for their location and remove inactive or unnecessary users. • • Do not send passwords in email Whenever you communicate Eclaim login account information to Eclaim Technical Support or anyone else, do not include the password in email. Communicate the password by phone if required. • If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Eclaim Technical Support at (949)450 -9150 option 2, or e-mail us at support@eclaim. com
