Get management help while installing or activating
Lumen is committed to making it easy to do business with us and to provide you with secure, reliable connections when, where, and how you need them. We have a dedicated customer delivery manager assigned to your account who helps ensure your Lumen installation experience is a very positive one. Their name, phone number, and email address appear on your order confirmation email. They answer any questions about your order, keep you informed about your order status (including key milestones), and advocate on your behalf.

- a consistent resolution process with your active participation
- action planning and delivery according to committed dates
- management involvement as appropriate
When to raise issues to Lumen management
If after working through our standard processes, you are not fully satisfied with the level or timeliness of the service you have received, or a service level agreement (SLA) has been missed, you can contact your customer delivery manager with your concerns.

We have a standard communication process that your customer delivery manager will share with you.

If your customer delivery manager opens a escalations ticket internal to Lumen, you may receive status updates from them or from the escalations manager/director.
