Support is a Collaborative Process

Technical Support can be a difficult process over distance. We believe that as the owner or operator of your system, you are motivated to make sure that the system is up and running; therefore, you must become involved in the successful operations and support of the system.

What does this mean?

Back up your system regularly. Perhaps one of the most important and useful things you can do is to set up a schedule of regular system backups. It may be that the only viable solution to a serious problem is to reload (restore) previous data.

Create secure user accounts. It is also important to make sure that security levels and user accounts are properly established, so that unauthorized users do not access or modify sensitive information.

Log all system maintenance and reconfiguration activities. So that we can better assist you, keep an ongoing Activity Journal or log that briefly details hardware or network modifications as you make them. While we may not always be able to assist with problems caused by these modifications, we can reach any possible resolution more quickly if we know what has been done.

Contact us when you need help. It can be difficult to find you if we need to call you back to resolve a support issue. We ask that you provide a convenient time to call, when you will be at the site and prepared to follow troubleshooting instructions.

Help us to help you. Use the Technical Support Checklist to prepare for and document each request for technical support. This form, located at the back of this Guide, includes information we will require while troubleshooting and resolving your issues. (Make copies of the form for further use.)
