Enterprise Support Service Contracts
We appreciate that some clients will require support that falls outside of the Standard Product Support scope. We offer enhanced support service contracts which can be tailored to meet your specific requirements, including support for Atlassian products, all COGNITIFF products including free add-ons and third-party licenses.
Time Account
There may be times where you want a more flexible approach to support than those offered in our Standard Product Support outlined above. In these circumstances, a Time Account may be more appropriate. This is designed specifically to provide support for unplanned events, for which COGNITIFF can provide bug fixes, feature enhancements, configuration and bespoke development.
A Time Account provides you with a bank of time to use as you need, measured in hours and scheduled according to agreed terms, and usually billed on a retainer basis. We use this approach successfully with many of our clients, both large and small, giving us the agility of delivery and you the flexibility of control.
Please note that this service is not typically appropriate for significant project work, which would be quoted for on a project by project basis. If you would you like to know more about Enterprise Support for our products and Add-ons, contact us for more details.
Atlassian Community Support
Over the years a large and active Atlassian community has grown up. Generally, this community is a powerful resource for you to make use of, particularly so if you have chosen not to purchase a commercial support contract with COGNITIFF.
The primary way to interact with this community is through the Atlassian Answers Forum. It is here that you will find suggestions, help, advice and good practice.
COGNITIFF cannot be held liable for any advice given by third parties or through the Atlassian Answers Forum. For commercial contracts, please see our Enterprise Support Service Contracts section above.
