Technical Support/Service
GENERAL
The intention of the Technical Support team is to assist the USER in solving difficulties which may be encountered while using the
CardioCard® System. All installation, training, customer support and technical support is FREE and UNLIMITED via phone or live
online support for the life of your product.
In the event of an Operational or "How To" Question, the following STEPS are suggested:
CUSTOMER SUPPORT POLICY
Our customer support mission is to provide professional, timely, complete and cost-effective telephone support for resolving problems
or questions related to the use of Nasiff Associates products.
OBTAINING CUSTOMER SUPPORT
To obtain live support, call into any of the customer support numbers given above. Hours of operation are 9:00 am to 4:30 pm EST
at our National Service Center, Monday through Friday, except holidays. Our systems department is staffed until 5:00 pm. Telephone
numbers are given above, support fax numbers are also given. We can be contacted via email 24 hours a day seven days a week.
We have a dedicated team of “Front Line” technicians that triage all incoming calls. If your call is a simple "application question", our
Front Line Team is usually able to provide you with an answer. If your question is more complex, they may have to schedule a call back.
If you are experiencing an emergency, they will immediately escalate your call to a “Back Line” technician that will take ownership of
your call until the problem is resolved.
Generally speaking, calls are returned according to the priority and in the order they are received. We make a best effort to return all calls promptly. Because of the complex and time-consuming nature of some of the calls received, we cannot guarantee a specific turnaround
time. If we cannot get to your call immediately, you will normally receive a call within 4 hours either to support your call or to notify you
that we have not had a chance to address the call and the anticipated time frame for resolution.
Non-urgent questions may be sent to Tech Support. Responses will be e-mailed back to the sender (unless otherwise specified) within
one business day. We do not check the e-mail inboxes of support technicians in their absence. Therefore, do not send e-mail to individual technicians unless specifically requested.
We prioritize calls based on the urgency of the situation. Unless otherwise informed, we will use the following protocol to determine the
urgency of the call:
changes to standard programs cannot be made ‘on-line’. Also, since changes to standard programs affect all clients, these changes
need to be carefully considered. We strongly encourage your suggestions and we track all requests, by product and client, for inclusion
in a future release of the software. We will make our best effort to respond to frequently requested or ‘urgent’ requests as quickly as
possible. Revisions to the standard system will be made under the following conditions:
Should you decide that your organization wishes to design and utilize a custom form or label not supported by our standard forms
utilities, our support staff will provide a cost estimate, and the estimated time-frame for completion of the custom programming, in the
form of a Programming Request Response (PRR) or Work Order. Upon approval, the work will be assigned to a support representative.
Software modifications will customarily be made via diskette or modem, not on-site.

Custom designed reports may be made available to other clients at our discretion.
