Latest revision as of 12:19, 12 December 2024

A pilot project is an advanced way to try the fully functional Kolmisoft system for 1 month in a live environment. It includes:

  • On-premise or hosted installation
  • Fully functional system
  • Technical support
  • Private training through Zoom


STEP 1 – Your goals

To get started, please answer these questions:

  • Do you want to use our server or your?
  • * What are your main goals for the Pilot Project? Please be as specific as possible to make sure we can meet your expectations
  • If we achieve your goals, what is your next step after the Pilot Project?
  • Which default currency do you want to set in the system?



STEP 2 – Preparing a server and getting login

If you chose to use:

Installation is usually completed within 48 hours.

Once the system is ready, you’ll get an email from noreply@kolmisoft.com with the text "COMMENT HIDDEN IN EMAIL".

For security purposes we don't send login details by email, so you'll have to log in to Kolmisoft Support System to get your credentials.



STEP 3 – Starting configurations and getting support

START WITH THIS

You can get started by following one of these guides:



DOCUMENTATION

To achieve the pre-defined goals you need to start system configuration by following the steps in the wiki documentation:

You can find more information about the specific questions by entering a keyword or phrase in the search field on the left menu bar.



PRIVATE TRAINING

All Pilot project users can get 1-2 private training sessions (each one takes 1 hour) through Zoom or Google Meet.

You can schedule a training time by creating a ticket in the Kolmisoft Support System.



SUPPORT

Support working hours are Monday to Friday 8 AM - 6PM GMT+2 (Lithuanian time).

Emergency Support (for BLOCKER priority tickets) is available 24x7 and support is provided only through the Support System.

When you face some difficulty or feel that things are getting complicated, you can contact Kolmisoft engineers for help.

This is done by creating a ticket in the Kolmisoft Support System.

Kolmisoft uses an internal support system to resolve problems for a few reasons:

  • To keep problems organized
  • To assist our clients more efficiently
  • To track and monitor the problems and reaction time

Once you understand that keeping problems organized increases reaction time you will start enjoying the Kolmisoft support system.

However, it is also possible to contact our engineers by Skype ID: support_kolmisoft and join our Discord Channel.



STEP 4 – Concluding results

One-two weeks before the Pilot project we will conclude the results – whether it was successful or not.

If it was successful, we will propose few options to be taken as a next step.

If it was not successful, we analyze the core issues and will try to improve ourselves to serve you better in the future.



STEP 5 – Next step upon successful Pilot Project

If we achieve success together and you would like to continue the partnership with Kolmisoft, you can become our client.

It is possible to retain the same server which was used during the Pilot project or migrate to a new one.
