Your investment with Microsoft and Sunrise will be greatly supported well after the implementation of your application.
With Microsoft's world renowned services programs and Sunrise's proven dedication to customer service and responsiveness, you will experience service and support processes that cannot be matched.
Sunrise Technologies is most often the first line of defense for our customers. Our post-implementation support program provides a direct link to the implementation experts of your solution and the local on-site customer service that you would expect. Sunrise Technologies offers its customers a unique and flexible support plan to sustain their Microsoft Dynamics AX implementations after a go-live.
There is no up-front fee for the Sunrise Support Plan. As an incident occurs, there will be a charge per incident. This fee covers access to the Sunrise Technologies Support Center portal for issue creation, issue categorization, issue acknowledgement, action plan creation and action plan communication. If applicable, an immediate on-line resolution to fix the issue within a reasonable amount of time can be done as well. In addition to the incident fee, a charge per hour will be incurred for time spent on the issue resolution.
The Sunrise Support Plan provides customers with:
- 24 x 7 x 365 access to the Sunrise Technologies Support Center portal for issue creation
- Categorizing support issues as Emergency (Absolutely critical to the daily functioning of the key business operations) or Non-Emergency (Routine in nature and are not stopping or prohibiting key business operations)
- Mission critical items will receive a 1-hour response time with priority status to address the issue immediately
- Routine issues receive 24-hour response time
- Tracking log of customer issues to insure quality of the response
