Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
All on-boarding clients are allocated an account manager and implementation manager who will ensure the smooth transition onto the service. An initial implementation meeting will be scheduled to ensure that our team understand your requirements.

Our team will work with you to capture the core data required by the system. A standard administrative training session will take place to educate the key stakeholders in the management of the service.

Training provision can be either onsite or online, or a combination of both. Our team will work with you to tailor training sessions to your requirements, covering train-the-trainer sessions; specific modules; or more general system overviews. As peoples diaries can be busy, we can re-run sessions to different teams, or for a small fee produce a dedicated training video based on your specific system configuration and content.

Fully featured manuals are available throughout the service for each module, and can be accessed at any time through the system interface.

End-of-contract data extraction
If clients require data extraction at the end of their contract, they may request this from their account manager or via the support desk.

A fee is applicable and is from £3995+VAT (price dependent on volume and complexity of data)
End-of-contract process
At the end of a contract access is automatically revoked from the system.

Clients may request their data, as previously described. All data is held in our systems for a maximum of 12 months following the termination of a contract, unless requested otherwise. This ensures that the data remains available (by request) whilst a replacement service is implemented.

After 12 months, any data or attachments are deleted from our databases.
