Technical Support
Hudson products are dynamic and constantly evolving. That's where our Technical Support and Systems Engineering Department comes into play. The Tech Support staff will assist with the implementation of the software, configure it to provide you with the information you need, and then help train your key personnel on how to operate and manage the various components. The Tech Support staff will also be your primary point of contact within the Hudson Group for routine questions regarding all Hudson Products. Through the wonder of current internet and communications technologies, our technicians can resolve the majority of support issues remotely and instantaneously. This saves you the expense and delay of on-site visits to your facility. Routine and Emergency Support are included in your monthly license fee. Unusual or excessive support needs, or issues outside the scope of Hudson products or services may incur additional support charges. You can request a copy of our support and escalation policy by calling or submitting a ticket.
