On Boarding – Making you Support Ready

Samsung will provide all listed personnel within each UO CAD form, a personalised On Boarding process. This will include personal logins with a username and password to our support portal, and a call to ensure you understand our portal content and how to get the best out of it.

Your User Organisation has chosen to sign up the ESN programme. Your details have been provided to Samsung Electronics, via the ESN Customer Account Data form, (CAD) – Samsung are the Device Supplier for ESN, and now need to create your service desk support accounts.

In order for you to securely contact Samsung for device support and device self-help portal access.

One of our support agents will then create your account and link it to your User Organisation. Your portal address will then be emailed to you along with your Username, followed by your password in a separate email.

Samsung aim to create accounts as quickly as possible. We aim to have your details sent to you within 72 hours.

Following your account setup, one of our ESN support agents will call you to ensure you can log in, understand how to navigate our portal, log a support case, and utilise our self-help support functionality.

You will have been identified from your User Organisation CAD as and admin user. If this is the case, your role will be stored in our systems. This will allow you to make requests by contacting our support team.

The User Organisation CAD form (completed by each User Organisation) will dictate who is On boarded. Additional requests for new starters or requests to remove leavers can be made by the Samsung Device Service Desk Admin Manager Role.

The Samsung Device Service Desk Admin Manager will need to contact the Samsung support team. Once security verification is passed, new user details can be shared and commence on boarding. Leavers can also be removed via the same process.

Accessories – What Support do I receive?

Samsung provide support ONLY for specific approved ESN accessories. These are limited to the Sonic RSM and the Peter Jones’ Case Claw.

If you have an issue with either the Sonic RSM or the Peter Jones’ Case Claw, that were procured via the ESN programme and the accessory is within its warranty period, a support case can be raised with via the Samsung support process. A case can be created in the same manner as a device related query.
