System Support vs. Consulting Services and Tutorials 
 
 
 
•
System Support is the resolution of problems that impede use 
of your system, such as missing or defective functionality, 
system crashes and error messages. System Support services are 
included in warranty agreements and support plan contracts. 
 
For example, contact us for technical support if you receive 
error messages when you attempt to add a new driver bus to the 
system, using documented procedures. 
 
 
•
Tutorial Support guides you through use of Newpoint 
products. A support engineer steps you through the process over 
the telephone. Tutorial support (for processes covered in training 
or in system documentation) is discounted in our support plans, 
or billed at varying rates; see maintenance plan descriptions for 
details. 
 
For example, call for tutorial support if you want to work with a 
technician as you follow step by step procedures to add a driver 
bus to the system. Because this is a fully documented procedure, 
this service is at extra cost. 
 
 
•
Consulting Services are discounted in our support plans. 
Newpoint Technologies, Inc. provides consulting services at 
your site, or via phone, fax, mail, or email. You may require this 
additional assistance to customize your use of Newpoint 
Compass, to write device drivers, or to add new devices to your 
system. Consulting is purchased in prepaid blocks of time and 
billed at varying rates; see support plan descriptions for details. 
 
For example, purchase consulting services if you require our 
assistance and advice as you install and configure your system.
