2. TRAINING & IMPLEMENTATION
Each Implementation is phased, beginning with Discovery, to identify needs, goals, work flows, etc. The next phase begins Implementation Training which utilizes a Train the Trainer approach, conducted over the web, generally over a 6-week period. From there, we work with the client in a tiered protocol, making sure everything works for each level before proceeding to the next.
At the end of Implementation, Go Live is conducted in a manner that best meets each agency’s unique work flow. All training is supplemented with over 60 videos on the support site. Contact us for additional details.
3. SUPPORT & CUSTOMER SERVICE
PIMSY encourages customers to log questions or issues into our Help Desk. This ensures requests are tracked and responded to in a timely manner. We then determine if the issue is training, data, or PIMSY product related. In the case of training issues, PIMSY Support works directly with the customer to assess the issue and establish a training solution.
Data issues can usually be addressed within a 24-hour period, depending on the extent. In the case of a PIMSY interface issue, we will determine if it’s resolvable with an upgrade. If not, in most cases, critical issues can be addressed in the next updated release.
