Support Plans

All support plans are designed with the client in mind. Business Support Services clients can choose a plan that meets their needs. We have 2 basic types of plans and 3 tiers of support hours within each plan. As the contracted hours increases the average rate decreases or the benefits increase. When you contract with TRG Business Support Services you get much more than just your typical ‘break fix’ support that the software vendor provides. You receive a broad range of services designed to meet your business needs. Please see our Business Support Services Details page for more information on the type of support you can expect from TRG Business Support Services.

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 would just sign up for a new plan with a new contract year. Should Business Support Services clients have available support dollars on account in their plan at contract renewal time, those dollars would be available as a voucher issued to the client account that are available for use by the client for additional new product purchases or non-support services. Clients would work with their assigned account manager to identify the appropriate support level for their needs. In other words these are not ‘use it or lose it’ plans. The investment in TRG Business Support Services is never lost, but is always available for you to use.

Our premium plans are premium in services but not premium in cost. It is designed for the needs of the client who is looking for a partner in the management and support of their critical business systems. 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. For more information on these services please review the Premium Services page.

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 from your assigned TRG Business Support Services Professionals within the client’s guaranteed response time, 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.

We believe this level of commitment to be unique in Software Support.
