Excellent software maintenance and support are essential for an effective EDI environment. Not every organization can afford to staff highly experienced developers and architects that are available on call when needed or deploy a service desk that is trained to handle the complexities of EDI. Even with the means to do so it is not very cost effective. Using the Shree network of field experienced professionals makes far better sense. Ask Shree to supplement your vendor support agreement and gain fast direct access to their family of experts
right now.
Shree Consulting provides 24/7 EDI support through its International Support Center (ISC). ISC is based out of India with satellite offices in Europe and North America. Customers can email, fax or call ISC to report a problem. A ticket number is assigned and the problem closely followed until resolution which can be tracked on line. The ISC will escalate your issue as needed to the appropriate representatives who will be in contact with your company quickly by phone or any other preferred communication method.
Shree support professionals are ready to handle all manner of support issues and, when required, directly log on to the EDI environment systems to directly resolve the problem as prescribed by a detailed Service Level Agreement (SLA).
