- (Note: we do not provide any support nor services of any kind for DBA "Next-Generation" which still
after over four years from being released provides no integrated EDI functionality and which represented a
backwards step for most DBA users. While we also do not directly support Evo-ERP, our EDI and UPS interfaces are compatible. We also provide Pervasive licenses and support to DBA Classic and Evo-ERP users.
Our recommendation to DBA Classic users is to either stay with DBA Classic, upgrade to Advanced Accounting (data import utilities are available) if hard core manufacturing features are not required, or migrate to Evo-ERP.

Fees, policies and philosophies:
-
- Support relating to third party software (or our own) packages is normally provided on a prepaid basis and either on a per call/incident or prepaid minute basis.
See our Store page for available options and policies. Our rates especially for accounting software support
are among the lowest in the industry, yet expert assistance is only a call or e-mail away.
-
- We have been providing Advanced Accounting support (and programming) services to others since early 1994. Frequently we support customers on a long term basis (we have regularly supported a number of
Advanced Accounting software customers, for example, for periods of in excess of fourteen continuous years) and in some cases
function almost as a de facto member of the customer's IT department. Or in other cases we serve as a contact with historical information
that long survives turnover in the customer's staff, and can help fill in the knowledge gap that inevitably occurs. In short, we are loyal,
long-term supporters of the customers for whom we provide support or custom programming services.
-
- We also routinely provide support far beyond our "normal" office hours when it is necessary/required including almost any hour of the day, on
weekends and holidays (advance arrangements required).
-
- Training (for Advanced Accounting or TAS programming) is usually on a per person basis when provided at our office.
In today's world, training can most cost effectively be provided using remote control software tools
and usually to users located anywhere in the world. For on-site accounting software support in the U.S. (and in a number of other countries
including Australia, Canada and eastern Africa), we have dealers/consultants who may either live nearby or who will travel to
your location.
-
- General consulting is provided either on a similar basis as support or on an hourly rate basis for customers
with whom we work regularly and in connection with which prior arrangements have been established and credit terms approved. For these
customers, technical support is also provided in connection with those existing, or historical, arrangements.
