We provide
a high-quality
long-term support.

Many consulting firms focus their business on software sales and implementations, with little interest in long-term support. Ashlake offers a contrast to this approach.

We cover you on every step
of your supply chain journey.

Long-Term Support is a critical element of these partnerships. Organizations do not develop a robust supply-chain overnight. Instead, it requires years of small, iterative enhancements to business processes and system solutions as business requirements and constraints change.

Customer care

We provide an ongoing support

Ashlake takes a unique approach to customer care. Not only are our team members engaged throughout a project implementation, we retain consultants for on-going support as needed by our clients. A common need post IT system implementation is to consult with the team which deployed the solution. However, often those resources are unavailable because they have been fully redeployed to new project work.

Financially efficient and operationally
secure support models

At Ashlake, we reserve a percentage of our consultants time for on-going support of our clients.  Our support methodology is another element of the Ashlake way. We tailor each support agreement to what makes sense for our clients, with the goal of balancing financially efficient and operationally secure support models. Below is an example of a Service-Level Agreement we have with a current client. For our larger, long-standing client engagements our support analysts maintain a full-time allocation, with on-site presence. For other firms, our consultants are contacted as needed for enhancements or daily support needs.
