Milestone delivers continuous return on investment

August 2015 News & Events, Surveillance, Integrated Solutions

Milestone Systems has announced a support service under the name Milestone Care, as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to maximise the business value of video management systems for partners and customers. Milestone Care can help minimise risk and downtime as well as reduce support costs through a tiered choice of comprehensive technical services, including direct assistance in deployment and daily operations, and resolving issues in the video infrastructure.

Milestone Care is a supplement to the support that customers already receive today from the Milestone reseller network. Partners and customers can choose to leverage Milestone Care for a more complete and flexible support package. The service is designed to provide customers with different service levels depending on their need, for example 24/7 support or during weekends.

All Milestone product and service offerings are sold exclusively through Milestone Partners, empowering them to provide just the right solution for each customer, with the expert support service levels they need most, when they need them. The Milestone Care service organisation can draw from all the global resources of Milestone Systems, delivering locally.

The Milestone Care offering consists of four different levels:

Milestone Care Basic – Included with all Milestone products, this package gives access to online support resources and user forums. The service includes online access to the latest versions of all Milestone software and device packs for updating camera drivers. This service offers 30% credit when upgrading a current Milestone software product to the newest version of the same product, or when upgrading to a more advanced product.

Milestone Care Plus – This package provides the above and adds advanced remote support options with the Milestone Customer Dashboard. This is an online remote monitoring diagnostic service managed by a Milestone partner to do system health checks and resolve issues without the need for customers to be involved. This service level offers full investment protection with 100% credit when upgrading from a current Milestone software product to the newest version of the same product, or when upgrading to a more advanced product.

Milestone Care Premium – In addition to the above packages, this includes direct and prioritised technical email and phone support and expert assistance 24/7/365, and can be delivered in the customer’s preferred language. Prioritised handling and committed response times with service level agreements, ensures dependable and swift resolution of issues.

Milestone Care Elite – Beyond the services listed above, this package provides a Milestone Technical Account Manager dedicated to the

customer – the highest possible support level from Milestone. Prioritised handling and committed resolution times with service level agreements, ensures that any critical software issue is resolved promptly and professionally. Customers gain direct access to Milestone internal support systems, with deep insights into the workings of the VMS.

“Milestone is adding more services as an important business area focus, for our partners and customers to achieve the most out of their open platform technology solutions. We aim to support every step of the journey with Milestone,” says Kenneth Hune Petersen, chief sales and marketing officer, Milestone Systems.
