Who can buy Arcible Assist?

We reserve the purchase of Arcible Assist to existing customers of other projects. We do this to protect both you and ourselves from issues in the future. By purchasing Arcible Assist and using it, you are depending on us to provide you with support. If we have never worked in your environment before, we may not fully understand your business, your processes, or your systems and could do more harm than good.

By working with existing customers only, we will already have an understanding of your environment. If you are interested in using Arcible and Arcible Assist we would suggest starting out with a one or two day review of your environment so that we can help you identify potential issues and problems so that we can better support you in the future.

Why can’t it be used for project or implementation work?

We offer Arcible Assist as an incentive to our existing customers looking for support and maintenance services; they are not meant to replace a traditional implementation project.

When should we not use Arcible Assist?

Arcible is in still young as an organisation. Until such a time that we are able to support you in the right manner, you should not rely on Arcible Assist for mission-critical or priority one workloads where an outage would result in a dramatic loss of service, functionality, or the ability for your business to function.

If you need this level of priority support, we are happy to help you find a partner that can provide this for you. Providing priority support for this type of incident is something that we aspire to and as part of our long-term company vision and is something that we hope to achieve in the future.

Is there a time limit to use Arcible Assist?

Yes, but we try to be fair about it. We run Arcible Assist in tandem with our fiscal year which runs from December to November. If on the 30th November, you have an Arcible Assist balance outstanding, we will do one of two things:

  1. If you have a balance of one day, we will allow you to roll over half of one day to the next year in the event that you have an issue with requires our help before you are able to purchase more Tech Days.
  2. If you have a balance of more than one day, we will allow you to roll over one day to the next year so that you are covered for an issue that you may face before purchasing more.

Why doesn’t it include travel and expenses?

Because it is reserved for existing customers, Arcible Assist is designed to be used primarily for support and maintenance issues. In almost all cases, we can resolve these issues remotely without the need for travel. Instead of stuffing our price with an allowance for travel and expenses costs, we lowered the basic price and separated the travel and expenses (T&E) costs.

In the event that you need an on-site or face-to-face presence for help, we can gladly do so but we would invoice you accordingly for the associated T&E.

How do we support charities?

In conjunction with our offer of free Consulting days to registered charities, we extend this into our Arcible Assist offerings too. If you purchase four or more days of Arcible Assist, we’ll add the fifth for free. This offer is subject to the normal terms of Arcible Assist.

How do we support the Armed Forces?

We offer the same benefits to the Armed Forces as we do to charities in support of the work that they do and the sacrifices that they make. Arcible has signed and committed to the Armed Forces Covenant.
