Software Maintenance is included with the License of a Para Research application. Unlimited telephone hotline support, enhancements, tax changes, and  documentation changes are included. Support hours are 8:30am to 7:00pm EST,  Monday through Friday.

If not immediately available, we promise a callback by a technician within one hour. Over 80% of our calls are handled  directly and over 90% of our calls are handled within 10 minutes. Our support staff fields over 10,000 calls each year.

Major new releases, including  enhancements requested by our users, are sent out at least once per year. All new features are documented by our in-house documentation staff. Additional  years of maintenance are optional and may be renewed at any time without penalty.

Over 80% of our users remain current on Software Maintenance. Users can expect a written survey and a check-in call by our Customer  Satisfaction Department at least once every six months.

Our surveys  allow Para Research to focus resources more efficiently, making sure that the needs and wants of our users are addressed. Surveys provide a mechanism for keeping the communication channels open to our customers.

Training is available in Gloucester, MA or at the client location. Although not required due to the quality of our  documentation, custom training can greatly reduce start-up times and increase efficiency when first using the software.
