The helpdesk listens to reports of problems and questions about ProgressSoft Systems. Helpdesk staff diagnoses reported problems and recognizes whether they are symptoms of larger system problems or are isolated problems and need a single fix only. In response to user questions, our staff provides quick, on-the-spot guidance that enables users to be more confident and productive with the supported system. By tracking and analyzing calls of the helpdesk, the support staff determines areas that need improvement, such as increased training for users or equipment and software that need to be upgraded or replaced.
Support requests are prioritized to provide the support team with the sense of severity they need to deal with. For instance, if a user has a malfunction that has caused his/her application to crash, a high priority support request may have to be issued since the user may not be able to do other work until the application starts running correctly. These severity levels lead to service level commitments with our clients, allowing us to be on-site to resolve high severities within three hours and to operate in a relaxed mode for low priorities.
ProgressSoft provides the customer with enhancements on the system (point releases) all through the warranty period and through the Support Agreement periods. Major changes and modifications are dealt with as per the System Upgrade Clause.
Major changes on the software that include exporting it to a new platform, operating system, used database, Graphical User Interface (GUI), communication protocol and/or supported languages are considered to be system upgrades. These also include integration with new hardware, new software or software upgrades. The customer will be requested to pay for the charges of such an upgrade.
Integration with other hardware, operating system, relational database, GUI and communication protocol will be dealt with on a case-to-case basis upon request.
Support is offered through Telephone, Fax, Email, FTP, FAQ and site visits. Visits of ProgressSoft technical support personnel at anytime can be arranged upon request.
