OASIS Maintenance & Support

Ingen Software provides OASIS Support to users through a paid Maintenance and Support (M&S) contract. Demo users and users in their first year of using OASIS can also receive OASIS Support. This article will explain the M&S contract and our support policies and limitations. If you have questions about your M&S contract, please contact OASIS Sales at sales@oasissalessoftware.com or 501-843-6750.

Maintenance & Support

The 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. Note: purchasing licenses and the right to use our software is separate from the M&S contract. Learn more about User Licensing in OASIS.

Contacting OASIS Support

At Ingen Software, we don’t believe in automated attendants. When you call, you will speak with a live OASIS Support Specialist. Our goal is to answer your questions efficiently and accurately. If testing or additional information is required, you will be notified and updated as we engage an appropriate team member to assist with your issue. OASIS Support may schedule remotes (screen sharing) to further diagnose the issue. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us for instruction, troubleshooting, or any other needs covered under the M&S contract. Users can contact OASIS Support in the following ways:

• Email. Users can send OASIS requests and questions to support@oasissalessoftware.com.
• Phone. Users can call us at 501-843-6750 M-F from 7 AM- 7 PM CST.
• Open Ticket feature. Users can open a ticket, include an export of a transaction, and automatically attach log files for troubleshooting using the Open Ticket feature in OASIS.

After hours support is available for a fee. This must be scheduled a week in advance. Please contact us for a quote by emailing sales@oasissalessoftware.com.
