Help Desk & Software Support
Any ERP or business critical software solution is only as good as the on-going support and services available for it. We provide a range of services to help you to continue to get the most from your axis diplomat and axis payroll software - not only a Help Desk but a number of additional services as well.
axisfirst Software Support
axisfirst is able to provide software support for any version of axis diplomat still within mainstream support and, to a limited degree, for systems within the Extended Support phase.
For information on the support lifecycles for each version, please see the Product Support Lifecycle Policy.
axisfirst Software Support Contracts entitle you to unlimited support via telephone within normal office hours (9am-5pm, Monday to Friday, excepting bank holidays), by email or via this website using the Call Portal option (available once logged in). Customers with systems covered by a Support Contract are also entitled to free level upgrades within their version.
All calls to our Software Help Desk are treated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Software Assurance
Software Assurance is an option that can be added to your axisfirst Software Support Contract and which will entitle you to any new versions of software that are released whilst you have that Software Assurance option in place.
Software Assurance means that you can keep your axis diplomat software up-to-date whilst maintaining a predictable monthly budget.
Safe Off-Site Storage
The Safe Off-Site Storage (SOS) service allows axis diplomat customers to subscribe to a service that will automatically send an overnight backup to our own backup servers via the Internet. This helps to protect your data in the event of flood, fire, theft or other disaster as the backup is off-site.
PassTime (Prepaid Axis Software Services)
PassTime packs provide a mechanism to allow you to pre-purchase blocks of time that can be used for general implementation-orientated services not covered by a standard Software Support contract.
Typical services provided using Implementation Services Packs include:
- Document designer template creation or modification.
- Business Intelligence module configuration.
- ODBC/SQL query/scripting writing & maintenance.
- Report writing.
- Importing/exporting data via Microsoft Excel.
- Small Software Modifications (Change requests).
- Remote training.
Time Units purchased via a PassTime pack can also be used for minor modifications and revisions to any website built by axisfirst.
