Due to major cost containment issues at our company, and the spiraling cost
of JDE support maintenance, we are looking for alternatives to JDE
Maintenance Support. I am not aware of any companies that provide support
for JDE, but would like to know if any exist?
We are currently under JDE's SILVER maintenance plan and are looking at what
it would mean to drop down to the BRONZE plan. (The basic difference
between the two as I understand it, is both provide access to the KG, but
under the Bronze plan, I could not log a call or actually talk to technical
support. This is available under the Silver plan). There have been times
when we search the KG, can't find a resolution, so we log a call and they
say, oh yea, see SAR# such and such. The information is there, but we
couldn't find it. This makes me nervous that I would no longer have that
basic access, let alone if something major came up but I couldn't get the
support I needed from JDE. On the other hand, its hard to justify thousands
of $$ for this insurance.
I have checked all forums in the JDELIST archives, but found little
information beyond one thread where maintenance was totally dropped and
there were issues a few years later, and so they re-instated maintenance by
paying all missed years of support.
Is there anyone out there who is on the Bronze plan and is willing to talk
about pros/cons, or who is aware of alternatives to JDE support and how it
is working for them?
Thanks very much!
