"Escalation" of a BMR is a formal process which lets your company let SSA R&D 
know just how badly a particular problem is affecting your business, so that 
it's priority to get fixed is raised higher. I suggest if this is a bad 
problem for your company, don't wait for SSA to call you; call them and ask 
that your company also be given the paperwork to formally escalate the fix's 
priority. You basically need to say what sort of impact the problem is having 
upon your business when you fill out the form. 
This let's SSA's R&D know that many customers are having the same problem, 
and more resources will be given to fixing the problem. This is handled in 
the US via the North America Escalation Office. The Helpline can get the 
forms to you. Details are on OGS Online.
