Frequently Asked Questions

Implementation of Tharstern Desktop

What will the pre-boarding phase cover?

A pre-boarding phase is needed for either subscription plan. This needs to be purchased in order to start your implementation project. The pre-boarding phase will cover the following aspects:

  • Technical installation to your hardware and/or 3 months of hosting in the Tharstern Microsoft Azure environment (this will enable an immediate start to the project).
  • Internal handover time from our sales team to the project team.
  • Initial Project Plan.
  • 10 hours of Professional Services to aid the set-up and data-gathering to begin the project.
  • 10 hours of report writing service time for creating customized documents and reports.
What are professional services?

Tharstern has a team of dedicated print professionals that have implemented many systems over the years and can advise you on your system configuration and setup, train your staff on the features of the system and offer general advice on the implementation. There is also the opportunity to draw on the expertise of our software developers and our report-writing service if your project requires a level of customization.

What if I need more user licenses?

All systems have a minimum of 5 users but you can add as many as you need. If you think you will need more than 50 licenses an Enterprise Plan may be more cost-effective for you. Please get in touch to create a package to suit your individual business needs.

What happens when I want to upgrade my plan?

The install / pre-board fee is the same regardless of which plan you choose. You will only pay this once. If you wish to upgrade your plan at a later date you will not have to pay an installation fee again, you will just pay the difference on your monthly subscription. 

Can I mix and match between Standard and Premium for different users?

You can not mix and match standard and premium licences.

Can I downgrade my plan at any time?

Yes, you can choose to downgrade but there is a minimum 3-month notice period to reduce licensing (for both users and features).
