Many people have invested thousands of pounds in call logging systems - sometimes monitoring multiple telephone systems - but fail to keep them up-to-date.

Although your TIM call logger is unlikely to fail, technology moves on.  We price our maintenance very competitively to ensure that you can easily afford to have ongoing maintenance.  This means you not only get the latest software revisions, but you can call us at any time for help or assistance in running reports.  You also have peace of mind, knowing that your investment is safe and will continue to work with no additional cost to you if you replace your PBX for a newer model or embrace new technology that is unforeseen at the time of install.

In summary maintenance cover on all products includes the following as standard:

  • Standard software revision updates
  • Unlimited calls to our support desk
  • Full access to all Tri-Line online services
  • Free interface upgrade when upgrading or changing switch
  • Access to updated online manuals and facility to download latest manuals

Where hardware or on-site maintenance is ordered, the following is also included:

  • Unlimited site visits
  • Repair or replacement of hardware
  • Labour and travelling time incurred in above

In summary, this means you not only do get the latest software upgrades to keep you up to date as technology advances, replacement software in the event of a PC failure, but you can call us at any time for help or assistance in running reports.

Tariff updates

Tariff pricing is the main cause of cost discrepancies when it comes to reconciling the call logger's reports to a phone company's telephone bill.  It's important to update your tariffs, since these reflect network changes, such as local dial code and other number group changes.

All TIM products provide three options regarding tariffs:

  • Self edit: Users are given full access to the tariff tables and can search for and edit any tariff at any time. They can also add new codes and bands.
  • Bespoke tariffs: Users can order a bespoke tariff which will be custom designed for them.
  • Tariff subscription: The annual Tariff Subscription Service allows users to send us their revised tariffs at any point during the year and get a free updated tariff table. The cost of the Tariff Subscription Service will vary depending on the number of different carriers included.

Note: All software will be provided with a BT standard tariff.  Updated standard BT tariffs can be provided on request to any maintained customer.

Non-maintained clients

Non-maintained clients will need to pay for support.  This will be charged on an hourly basis.  Software updates required to bring old and out of date software up to the current version will also be chargeable.

As a rule-of-thumb, it pays to have a maintenance contract if you just call our support desk even once a year.  Contracts start from as little as £99 per annum, so it's worth asking your supplier for details.

Product manuals

Manuals for all products are available in two forms:

  • PDF downloads
  • Online

Maintained customers will be able to access either using their secure online access.  There is no limit to the number of downloads for online manuals and no restriction to access them.

All manuals will be for the current version of software only.
