Enhance Your SouthWare System every month without missing a beat!

Keeping your system current with the latest features presents a dilemma: you want access to the value of new features, but you don't want to lose productive time due to the disruption/training an upgrade requires. 

The solution?  SouthWare CMSS (Continuing Maintenance Subscription Service)!

By subscribing to CMSS you can relax - you'll have the latest and greatest SouthWare features without ever needing to "upgrade" again!  The best new features from SouthWare will already be in your system just waiting for you to put them to use when you're ready.

The major benefits you get with CMSS are:

1. The capability and value of your system increases every month
2. There is no unexpected hassle/disruption cost for your people - your business operations are affected only when/if you want to make a change to utilize a new capability

Increased capabilities

• CMSS is an extension of SouthWare's successful FLASH program.  You'll get new enhancements within the programs you're already using but they won't be activated until you choose to use them. 
• You'll have immediate access to enhancements as soon as they are ready.  You'll receive a controlled, gradual, seamless flow of a handful of improvements every month instead of a massive release of hundreds of programs once a year. 
• SouthWare will focus resources on developing/releasing dynamic monthly enhancements instead of complex annual upgrades.
• You'll get timely solutions because we will adjust our development priorities to give you quick responses to the changing business, economic, technology, and government environments. 

Less Hassle

• As with the FLASH updates you won't be affected by new features unless you choose to use them.  Many of the changes will offer major new value, but they will be designed so that they remain in the background until you use them.
• Changes are introduced gradually so your people don't have to learn lots of new things at once.
• With CMSS you get the best support possible because your system is always current with the latest fixes and versions.
• A new platform (a new set of programs) that is required to support new technology will be released only when necessary (every couple of years or so) and will be released so that it is as low key and unobtrusive as possible.   The goal is that the install of a new platform won't reduce your productivity but will simply lay the groundwork for future enhancements.
