Many people have invested thousands of pounds in call logging systems - sometimes monitoring multiple telephone systems - but fail to keep them up-to-date.
Although your TIM call logger is unlikely to fail, technology moves on. We price our maintenance very competitively to ensure that you can easily afford to have ongoing maintenance. This means you not only get the latest software revisions, but you can call us at any time for help or assistance in running reports. You also have peace of mind, knowing that your investment is safe and will continue to work with no additional cost to you if you replace your PBX for a newer model or embrace new technology that is unforeseen at the time of install.
In summary maintenance cover on all products includes the following as standard:
Where hardware or on-site maintenance is ordered, the following is also included:
In summary, this means you not only do get the latest software upgrades to keep you up to date as technology advances, replacement software in the event of a PC failure, but you can call us at any time for help or assistance in running reports.
Back to topTariff pricing is the main cause of cost discrepancies when it comes to reconciling the call logger's reports to a phone company's telephone bill. It's important to update your tariffs, since these reflect network changes, such as local dial code and other number group changes.
All TIM products provide three options regarding tariffs:
Note: All software will be provided with a BT standard tariff. Updated standard BT tariffs can be provided on request to any maintained customer.
Back to topNon-maintained clients must pay for use of our support services. This is charged on an hourly basis.
We cannot install older versions of our software so if you do not have a backup of your original software, we will also charge an upgrade fee to bring your system up to date. This charge is calculated as a percentage of the original purchase price of your system and depends on how out-of-date your current version is, as per the following table:-
| Your version | Upgrade fee |
|---|---|
| 3.0.0.5x | 35% |
| 3.0.0.6x | 25% |
| 3.0.0.7x | 15% |
| 3.0.0.8x | 10% |
It will cost £249.00 to upgrade any version prior to 2.181.0.26.
It is therefore much cheaper to ensure you have a maintenance contract in place, if you need to call our support desk, even if that's only once a year! Annual contracts start from as little as £99 per annum, so make sure you ask your supplier for details.
Back to topIn the event of a hardware failure, we will replace – free of charge – any system that has valid maintenance. For un-maintained software, you will need to pay our support team to assist in the re-installation; this is charged at our standard daily engineering rate.
Licenses are re-issued free of charge, but where the fate of the original license cannot be reasonably determined, there may be a delay in the issuing of a replacement license whilst we determine its validity.
Since a system's license is linked to the hardware on which it resides, changing your hardware will invalidate the license. If you are sure you do not want a maintenance contract but are worried that the license will not be transferred at a later date, a hardware dongle can be purchased at £50.
Back to topManuals for all products are available in two forms:
Maintained customers will be able to access either using their secure online access. There is no limit to the number of downloads for online manuals and no restriction to access them.
All manuals will be for the current version of software only.
Back to topMaintenance includes software assurance so upgrades to our software are free of charge for those who have a valid maintenance contract with us.
