Technical Support Service Description
Technical Support includes unlimited, toll-free calls to our Technical Support Department during published hours. This service component will enable you to obtain software-specific information, such as problem identification, workarounds, and documented solutions. In addition, you will receive assistance in problem identification techniques, if the reported condition is not already documented in our Technical Support database. If a Technical Support Specialist is not immediately available to answer a call, he or she will attempt to respond within a 30 minute time frame.

Our Technical Support Specialists average over 15 years of experience providing technical assistance for PressureMAP users. They have expertise in all aspects of cable pressurization system monitoring—from transducers in the field, to monitoring systems, to PressureMAP and PressureWEB.

Technical Support assistance includes answering questions on a variety of topics, including installation architecture, system administration, data entry, system setup (Report Centers, Alarm Centers, etc.), and report analysis. Technical Support Consultants also have direct access to our software engineers, who are available to assist with problem resolution when necessary.

As part of our annual Technical Support Service we provide free upgrades to major PressureMAP version releases during the contracted time period. This support component helps to ensure that your system benefits from any program modifications and improvements that occurred during the course of the year.
