Customer Support Vendor?

Who do you use for Support?  How responsive are they and what is the cost?  We are currently with TriBridge.

    I sent you a friend request so that we can discuss some options.

    RE: Customer Support Vendor?

    The big resellers such as Tribridge or SBS can be very useful for "big" projects (installs, upgrades, complex customizations/integrations, etc.).  But for day-to-day support, there are certainly a bunch of independent consultants such as myself, who've been working with the Dynamics product line(s) for a long time. The reduced cost of an independent consultant can save you 25-40% of the typical reseller's cost. Often, an independent consultant will respond in a more timely manner as well.  

    Personally, I've worked with Dynamics SL for 19 years.  I was a certified trainer in FRx and certainly would be for Management Reporter too if there was a formal exam.  I've been independent for over 4 years now, with a handful of long-time clients who rely on me for the day-to-day support. As needed for these clients, I will work with a reseller for larger projects that I can't do on my own. That relationship works well for all parties - the client gets timely & slightly cheaper support and the reseller maintains a client and also gets some work out of it as well.

    I've had a couple of clients find me via https://www.upwork.com/.  This is a site where independent consultants like myself can register and "sell" themselves.

    I'd be happy to take this offline if there's a need for any basic SL or MR support.

    Thanks,

    John

    Do you use Management Reporter for custom reports and financials?

    Hoping to see another answer.  We use Tribridge as well.
