Enterprise Support | Dean Tebbutt | Highlighted limited response received thus far for enterprise support. Requested continued support for current projects to sign up enterprise support. Focus on new projects is to ensure that the enterprise support is built into the project costs Comment made about the name of enterprise support – might need to use a different name to make all parties more amenable to the concept Risk flagged that if only one country signs up for enterprise support it will be a challenge for Vitalliance to provide the contracted level of support as the income will not cover the costs. | |
