The Maintenance & Support contact (M&S) contract is a paid annual agreement that includes OASIS updates and access to OASIS Support as a resource for day-to-day OASIS needs. This article will explain our support policies and limitations under the M&S contract. If you have questions about your M&S contract, please contact OASIS Sales at sales@oasissalessoftware.com or 501-843-6750.
