jump-start on using new features and also have an opportunity to provide input

Attending the annual SPC is a key component of your Synergy/DE investment; the
knowledge and insight you gain at the conference helps ensure that you are
advancing your applications effectively. |
| Professional Services |
Synergex’s Professional Services Group (PSG) provides a number of services that can
help you advance your applications and maximize the use of your Synergy/DE
products, including:
- Developer training.
- Code samples to get you started with a new technology implementation.
- Access to our CodeGen tool. If your project requires a lot of similar code to
be created, this PSG utility can generate a significant portion of it for you.
- Assistance with non-Synergy/DE products. If you require assistance with
other products, for example SQL Server, Infragistics, or Visual Studio, PSG
may be able to assist you.
- Advisory services. PSG advise you on application design, new technologies,
and other areas.
Your Synergy/DE account manager will work with you to determine how you can use
PSG most effectively. |
| 3rd-party product support |
The Developer Support team will be able to answer your questions and help you
resolve issues on technologies and functionality developed by Synergex. They will
also try to assist you with issues you encounter when using non-Synergy/DE
products that are part of your overall solution.
When dealing with issues in 3rd-party products, Developer Support will often have to
refer you to the 3rd-party company that supports the product. In some specific cases,
Developer Support may be able to be your liason with the 3rd-party company and
navigate your issue or question through the appropriate channels to get you a
resolution. Your Synergy/DE account manager can discuss this service with you. |
| Priority escalation of issues |
Your issues will be promptly escalated for faster resolution. Issues may be escalated
to the Developer Support Manager, to Professional Services, and/or to the
Development Department, depending on the issue. |
| Summit team membership |
The Synergy/DE Summit team is a customer group that provides input on
Synergy/DE product direction. Members receive early information about Synergy/DE
plans and have an opportunity to influence those plans. |
