In order to function efficiently, SRS requires regular expert maintenance. Many SRS customers have a dedicated SRS Administrator to deal with these issues, but equally, many customers have asked us to administer their SRS installation in order to release their staff for higher priority projects.

This service is designed to perform all the functions that an in-house SRS administrator would perform, and includes:

• The installation of all software updates, upgrades and patches
• Administration of all supported databases
• Administration of all supported tools
• Option: administration of in-house databases, relational databases and third party databases
• Option: administration of non-supported tools
