Why offer Maintenance and Support Contracts?

ADS-Limathon Limited is a professional software development company selling products to highly specialised customers. To keep our prices down we offer a standard 90 day no quibble warranty. But what about after the ninety days ? We will still be here if you want us, but we request that you invest a modest fee in a Maintenance and Support contract.

Software will run forever, wont it ?

Yes, if left alone on the PC with the environment it was first installed. Without doubt the vast majority of our helpdesk support goes to customers who change operating systems, Windows environments, MS Office modules, or get new computers or networks. There is no obligation to provide support for such scenarios, since this is clearly an IT Department issue. However, ADS-Limathon is happy to assist these customers, and their IT departments, if they have maintenance and support contracts.  

We already have our own IT Departments and Desktop Support 

Yes, and a great job they do too. But when your application malfunctions for no apparent reason, they still need somebody to talk to, to give them pointers, and to test files with. Time is a precious commodity for IT support teams.  That's where we help, saving them valuable time, by  testing, confirming issues, and eliminating possibilities, and quite simply giving them our best advise on possible solutions.

Are you interested in improvements to your software ?

As time goes by users may need to cope with more information, their database may expand to less optimal proportions, they may need to transfer it to another machine or export it to a new server. Legislation or requirements may change, demanding increased audit trail or an additional custom report.   Or, what if a hardware failure corrupts or locks your database, requiring program or data migration.?  Staff rotation or turnover can bring in new personnel with less experience, or maybe new ideas to implement.  

There are hundred of reasons why customers may need to call us for assistance. Occasionally its even a real fault with the software !

We had a contract but never used it !

You're not alone. We wish every customer was like you. All of them were at one stage - until one of the above happened. A maintenance contract is a bit like car insurance - you may never need it for years but when you do it saves you a fortune ! Maybe we should offer a no claims discount ?
