How do you notify your clients of upcoming maintenance, especially for critical patches or updates?
We employ a multi-faceted approach to inform our clients about upcoming maintenance, particularly for critical patches or updates. Initially, prior notifications are dispatched via email to ensure our clients are well-informed. Additionally, we implement a maintenance notification placeholder on the login screen, typically appearing 3-4 days in advance. This provides visibility regarding the maintenance date and time. Moreover, clients have the option to proactively contact us, expressing concerns if the scheduled maintenance might disrupt their operations, especially for critical events such as important demos. In such cases, we collaborate closely with them to potentially postpone the update, ensuring minimal disruption.
In the event of an update causing issues, is there a rollback mechanism in place?
Our updates undergo rigorous testing by our Quality Assurance (QA) team. In the event of any issues, we do have a rollback mechanism in place that enables swift reversion to the previous version, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
For each update, especially those introducing new features or changes, how detailed is the documentation provided? Will there be training sessions or webinars to assist our team in understanding and implementing these updates? FlytBase regularly posts updated release notes on its release page, which can be found at https://releases.flytbase.com/. These release notes include comprehensive technical documentation and video tutorials. Additionally, we offer personalized one-on-one training sessions to assist customers in integrating the new features and onboarding effectively.
