A patch can only be applied to the product version indicated in its instructions and on this web site.

Applications using the Edify products can be demanding in terms of connectivity to database servers and host computers; these pages describe the configurations that have been tested with each new software release. A configuration not listed here may still work–for example, it may work well only for certain applications–so check with Sales or Edify Product Support to discuss the specifics of your application. (It is usually worthwhile to check with us while planning a significant configuration change because often we can anticipate challenges you might meet.)

Concentrix Product License Website
Welcome to the Concentrix License Website. The purpose of this site is to activate Concentrix software licenses purchased from Concentrix.
If Concentrix provided integration services for your solution, you will not need to activate your license(s). This would have been done as part of our integration services.
If you’ve purchased software only and plan to integrate your Concentrix solution yourself or with the help of a third party, you will need to use this site to activate your software license(s).
Once you’ve installed your software, follow the instructions outlined in the Concentrix Technical document # 60001148 (Concentrix Soft License Users Guide). This will guide you through the necessary steps for setting up your license(s). This guide also contains contact information if you need assistance using this site.
RealCare Remote Monitoring
RealCare Customer Support
Concentrix has partnered with Integrated Research to create RealCare Remote and RealCare Stress Testing. These cost-effective and easily implemented services provide peace of mind by proactively evaluating system readiness to identify current or potential problems before they severely disrupt our clients’ businesses.
RealCare Remote and Stress Testing prove the end-to-end capability of the call automation environment by placing test calls through the public telephone network to simulate a typical customer making actual telephone calls. Inputs can be either touch-tone or voice.
Stress Testing
Stress Testing is most often utilized by our clients as part of a new system implementation or after a major modification to a system application. Menu choices, account number entries, and other inputs are made in response to system prompts. Response times are measured and stored for each test call. Total call volume depends on the number of available system ports, but averages in the thousands, to help observe how the system handles peak traffic loads. The final test report provides a complete view of the system’s performance and includes example .wav files of test calls so the client can hear what actually occurred during the test.
RealCare Remote
RealCare Remote is structured to test the client’s system as frequently as required to verify its constant availability—once or several times an hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If a system error is encountered during a test call, RealCare Remote services capture relevant information and identify the error condition. Clients receive error notifications via telephone call, numeric page, email, or a combination of these methods. Weekly reports provide a graphical summary of all test calls, including an analysis of system availability, a detailed description of any error conditions encountered, and associated error notifications. These reports help the client track, measure, and evaluate the general performance and availability of their system and identify problem trends. The fact that nearly 100% of our RealCare Remote clients renew this service each year says much about the value of this program.
Our enhanced network and voice-enabled products are a necessity for our clients to meet the information demands of their customer base. Our clients want any system down-time to be substantially eliminated, with current or potential problems identified expeditiously. RealCare Remote and Stress Testing play a significant role in meeting that expectation.
RealCare Support for Non-Remedial Incidents
The Concentrix RealCare team realizes that issues sometimes arise where you need assistance that goes beyond the scope of your RealCare contract. In fact, a recent analysis shows that roughly 60% of our calls fall into this category, and a significant amount of time is spent resolving these issues. To ensure that we can continue to provide support for these non-remedial incidents without increasing the cost of annual maintenance for all RealCare clients, we are introducing a program called Per-Incident Billing. This program, offered to all clients who have a valid maintenance contract, will allow our engineers to assist with these types of issues while continuing to offer the timely, high-quality responsiveness all of our clients deserve.
Non-Remedial incidents will be billed at $1,000 per incident, regardless of effort. Our engineers will continue to work with you in a consulting capacity for the duration of the incident. Incidents may be purchased individually as needed, or in a pre-paid block of 12 at a discounted rate.
For information regarding block purchase, contact your Inside Sales Account Manager or request a quotation by sending an email to [email protected].
