Urgent - An event and/or problem that has a significant business impact, or an immediate severe impact to a core business process or an operation that is mission critical to the business. The event and/or problem may render the Applications non-functional.
High - An event and/or problem that has a major business impact to the customer or to a critical operation. The event and/or problem may severely limit the operations of the Applications.
