Perficient's Hyperion SupportNet provides virtual help desk support for Hyperion applications. It offers a monthly fixed fee for a set number of support tickets, scheduled tasks, and proactive monitoring. This provides a predictable budget and separates support activities from development work. SupportNet leverages Perficient's global resources and expertise to provide timely assistance, allowing clients to optimize resources rather than staffing for peak demand periods. It offers a more cost-effective alternative to maintaining an in-house support team.
