We at InstantGMP have valued customer support since our inception in 2004. Three premises have remained true:
- The Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”) is enforced
- The quality of customer user experience varies directly with the quality of support
- One purchases the expertise of a company along with the purchase of the software
Over time, we have come up with a three-phase service platform for our customers:
- Initial Software Training—a structured curriculum for the selected products. Training can be virtual via Zoom, in person per request, or using online training videos …..and we insist it is fully completed
- Implementation Assistance—combining our expertise with that of customer users. Implementation expedites advanced or deadline-driven configuration tasks (specialized workflows, creation of Master Production Records, writing custom reports, etc.) using the included optimization tools
- Ongoing Support—in addition to issuing periodic software upgrades, we’re there to answer questions and manage support events. We train (and retrain, as needed) added users free of charge. We also visit customers in person to provide ongoing guidance.
The net result of this program is that many of our customers have purchased additional users and even additional site licenses. And we get referrals……sometimes from years past.
Here are our support leaders, each with their own version of experience and expertise, and how their role supports our customers and our industries as a whole:
Brandy Irons
