Prior to installation, our staff works closely with the customer to create an implementation plan to fit the needs of the customer. The implementation process is monitored throughout the installation, conversion, and training steps. INCODE is continually working to improve the implementation process and offers knowledge and experience through our implementation services.

Data Conversion:

Data conversion is a priority concern for most municipal governments. If you have changed application software in the last five to ten years, there is a good chance the words “data conversion” conjure up unpleasant memories. INCODE has extensive experience with data conversions. We have successfully converted data for over 200 city governments. In addition to developing programs to accurately bring your data across, our staff provides on-site conversion assistance to guarantee your conversion is successful.

Training:

INCODE's Software Specialists will train your staff in a quick and efficient method, resulting in your staff utilizing INCODE's software effectively in their daily job functions.

A consistent interface throughout the software helps users gain a quick understanding of multiple applications. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff conducts the training in a professional manner. On-site training begins with a session conducted by one of our Project Managers. The training progresses with sessions conducted by Software Specialists trained in specific areas of the software, including on-site assistance during data conversion.

The network and hardware support plans provide a proactive approach to potential problems rather than a reactive response; providing support ranging from remote monitoring of the network systems and after hours network support, to help desk support for hardware issues. This is a service, which INCODE offers to protect your network and hardware.
