What Support Do You Get After Custom Software Goes Live? AMC, Training and Updates Explained
Short answer: after custom software goes live you should get maintenance support, training for your team, and a way to request help and changes. At Genxa, one year of annual maintenance (AMC) is included in the one-time development cost and starts from the date the software is deployed on your server. On-ground, hand-holding training for your staff is arranged as mutually agreed, and remote support is available with prior notice.
What the first-year AMC means
Included in the development cost: you don't pay separately for the first year of maintenance.
Starts at deployment: the 12 months are counted from the date the software goes live on your server, not from the start of development.
After year one: renewal terms are agreed with you.
Training for your team
New software only pays off when your staff use it every day. Genxa provides on-ground, hand-holding training at your location, with the schedule and scope mutually agreed, so managers and field staff learn on their own real work.
Remote support
For help after go-live, remote support is available. Give prior notice when you need a session so the right person is ready to help.
Getting your team to actually use the software
Involve the daily users while testing the prototype.
Train people on their real tasks, not a generic demo.
Stop updating old spreadsheets once the new system is running, so there is one source of truth.
