Worker Licenses
With the release of CIMcloud 2019.r1, the role of Worker was introduced. This replaces the features previously referred to as Super Users. Users with a Worker role are employees of the website owner. If you are using Super Users on your classic website you may incur additional monthly fee increases for worker licenses. If you have Super Users who are customers of your website, let us know, so we can determine what your Worker License needs are.
Note
Worker Licenses, Snap Sites, and Multiple Company File Integrations could also impact your monthly recurring fee or Service-Level Agreement on CIMcloud 2020.r2. When reviewing your website to assess the migration your Account Manager will notify you of any impact and will book a call with you to discuss.
Customizations, cost, and maintenance
If you have customized your legacy website and require these customizations in your CIMcloud 2020 website, our CIM Professional Services Group will provide you with an estimate to migrate your custom modifications. This would include custom design, custom development/functionality, and modifications to the standard Sage 100 ERP integration.
Support for your customizations will be provided by the CIM Professional Services Group. The cost for support will be estimated and can be provided as an hourly billed service or monthly retainer for services.
