What kinds of things are:


Included in Support packages

  • Troubleshooting to ensure there is nothing wrong on the Bonterra's end preventing a successful connection, and some high level suggestions for what to check/make changes to on the customer's end.

  • General instructions on how to download and install an ODBC Driver.

  • Provision of supporting documentation (Supported Views Guide, ERD).

  • One complimentary IP Address change after set-up.

  • Installation of an ODBC Driver or a one-to-one walkthrough to do so.

  • Instructions on how to use third-party programs to build reports, such as Excel or Power BI.

  • Extensive troubleshooting of errors in a third-party program if the connection is successful through the driver.

  • Assistance with any custom reports

  • Subsequent IP Address changes after the single complimentary change.

  • Changes made to database that will stop upgrades from completing successfully i.e. tables or views added and have the wrong owner, or other nonstandard modifications made by the customer.
