Annual Maintenance Plans

Almost all of our customers take advantage of the annual maintenance agreements that PDS offers.  Annual maintenance is prepaid and offers service and support at substantially discounted rates as well as priority service over non-maintenance agreement customers.  The maintenance agreements differ among the products that we offer relative to the customization of those products.

CD-Plus Maintenance Plans

Unlike traditional plans, our maintenance agreements are unique in that customers pay at a rate of a specified number of hours per month.  Not only can the alotted monthly maintenance be used to make corrections and changes in the system, but they can also be used for training, consulting, and enhancements.  All CD-Plus Online, PDS Intraweb, PDS Web Services, PDS Plans, and PDS Mobile customers are required to have a minimum of the silver maintenance plan. In April of each year, we publish the pricing for the following year's maintenance.  The maintenance letter and information are listed below:

Utopia Maintenance Plans

Utopia maintenance plans differ from the CD-Plus maintenance plans due to the nature of the utopia product.  All of the utopia systems utilize the same code base, so all maintenance plan customers are entitled to receive all code updates during the maintenance year. Utopia plans also differ in contact methods. To keep costs low, we have several different methods of contact as well as one plan that includes time for report customization.

Our annual maintenance agreements require the customer to provide remote access in order to provide adequate support.  Currently, we will accept the following methods:
