Support Plans

TRG clients can choose a plan that meets their needs as an alternative to a "pay as you go" approach. We have 2 basic types of plans and 3 tiers of support hours within each plan. As the contracted hours increase, the average rate decreases and the benefits increase.

Support plans have an annual contract date with renewal. Should you use all of your support hours before the end of your contract year, you can simply sign up for a new plan with a new contract year. Should you have available support time remaining on the account during the annual renewal, those dollars would be added to the total available on the next support contract purchase.

Our clients should work with their assigned account manager to identify the appropriate support level for their needs. Our plans are not 'use it or lose it' plans.

In addition to the available support hours, premium clients benefit from an additional range of services provided by TRG as part of the support plan.

TRG is committed to client service. Your guaranteed response time is a commitment for each plan. TRG stands behind that commitment with a guarantee.

TRG is committed to client service. In both the Premium and Standard plans as the Business Support Services investment increases, the TRG investment in client service increases. Your Guaranteed Response time is a commitment at each level of service. TRG stands behind that commitment with a true Guarantee.


OUR GUARANTEE

If TRG does not initially respond to your case with a phone call or personal email within the client's guaranteed response time specified in the plan, then TRG will issue a $500 voucher to the Client Account to be used for additional new product purchases or services not related to the support contract.
