Support
Our support process, much like our integration process, is highly organized and efficient. Support issues typically relate to four main categories: 1) software, 2) integration, 3) customer host system, or 4) user training. By grouping issues into these categories we are able to identify common problems across users and customers and thus provide this information as feeder material during our development process.

Methodology
Our support strategy is made up of three steps:

Step 1: Identification
While CLS knows the most important goal is to correct the issue quickly, we also realize that it is equally important to fully identify the problem. Symptoms of an issue can almost always be corrected quickly, but the root cause must also be resolved. To help quickly identify problems CLS utilizes its knowledge base which not only categorizes issues by our software, but also by customer host system types (BAAN, SAP, etc.), operating system types (Windows, UNIX, QNX, etc.), network related issues (full duplexing, etc.) and virus related issues.

Step 2: Resolution Plan
Once the root cause has been identified, we present a plan of resolution to the customer. This includes a timeframe for delivery, a risk analysis, and any possible downtime. Most of our customers have test or development systems, and in these scenarios, we recommend that the customer do a complete regression test. We highlight the areas of the system that they should concentrate on.

Step 3: Rollout
Moving an issue resolution into the production environment seamlessly is as important as resolving it. We work with our customers on a suitable window of time for installation, always recommending that it be done during off-hours or weekends.
