Gold and Platinum Level Support

APPX provides direct technical support to customers who subscribe to these plans, via toll-free telephone lines or by e-mail, in addition to all the features of Bronze Level coverage. The APPX Tech Support staff are experts in helping customers resolve all issues relating to the installation and use of APPX and the various APPX utilities. For support of customized applications, APPX recommends that customers work with their resellers. Customers on these plans are entitled to membership in the APPX Support mail list, and have 24/7 access to the APPX Bug Tracker Database (formerly ECR System), a repository of enhancement requests and bug reports for APPX developers and users. They also receive discounts on training classes, consulting services, and conference registration fees.
 

  • For Gold Level Support customers, the response time is four hours, and these customers may contact Technical Support personnel by phone, during regular business hours, or by e-mail.
  • Customers at the Platinum Support level are offered the fastest response time (2 hours), extended hours emergency support, and the greatest discounts on training, consulting, and conferences, and are eligible to participate in product development sessions and beta tests.

 

Additionally, all supported customers have access to the Online Customer Support System to obtain emergency licenses in the event of a system-down emergency situation. APPX Support personnel often rely on a utility program called VNC to connect to customers' systems via the Internet. Details and installation instructions for VNC are available here.
