OrgPlus ChartDoctors at your service

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Need help with your chart creation? Don’t have the time for a general two-hour training session? Let the OrgPlus ChartDoctors be your personal guides!

During my many years of supporting OrgPlus, there has always been a need from customers to have their charts professionally created, and receive personalized, one-on-one support. OrgPlus ChartDoctors (previously known as Chart Assistance) is a great option for OrgPlus Standard and Professional users who want an expert to walk them personally through specific features relative to their unique company environments and data.

Additionally, the OrgPlus ChartDoctors can tweak your existing charts or create new ones that meet your criteria and requirements, all while keeping it aesthetically pleasing and professional. For pricing and availability, ask your account manager or an OrgPlus Technical Support Representative (your “ChartDoctor”) at 888-821-1261. We have also added the option of purchasing five or ten hour blocks of this service at a discounted rate.
