What maintenance adds

Five ways we keep you thriving after go-live.

An upfront-only engagement ends at go-live. The Maintenance Licence Fee turns Flexr into an ongoing partner for the life of your contract.

Updates and upgrades

Fixes, patches and every major release in your contract period.

Professional services

A monthly allowance of business-hours guidance and optimisation.

Enhancements included

Moves and changes to users, groups, queues and call flows.

Training and education

Group online training on new features, via the Academy.

Proactive monitoring

Prioritised health checks, monitoring and recommendations.

Licence pricing
Secured for quoted term
Fixed for contract duration

Allowances and cadence scale with your user tier, and hours do not accumulate month to month. See your product-specific Professional Services overview for full inclusions and exclusions.

Good to know

How the allowance actually works.

Clear boundaries from the start, so nothing is a surprise three months in.

Hours don’t roll over

The professional services allowance is monthly and does not accumulate month to month — it is there to keep the system tuned, not to bank against a future project.

Allowances scale with your tier

Both the monthly hours and the training and health-check cadence step up with your user tier, so larger deployments get proportionally more attention.

Licence pricing is locked

Your licence pricing is fixed for the duration of the contract. No mid-term surprises to explain to finance.

Full inclusions per product

Each pillar has its own Professional Services overview setting out exactly what is included and excluded. We’ll walk you through the one that applies to you.

Let’s take the stress out of it.
