Because its underlying SaaSWizard platform inherently provides features like configurable tables and fields, graphical workflow, group-based permissions, powerful search capabilities, a business rules engine and integrated reporting, the application can easily be configured to map and automate any business process. The table below describes the application's support of various features. Please click here for additional descriptions and screenshots.

Requirement Category: Staff Functionality
  
Requirement
Level of Support
Comments
Supports staff and end user licenses
Supported
EnterpriseWizard offers named staff (agent) licenses and end-user licenses. Unlimited end-user access is provided as % of the staff license price. Staff licenses are automatically re-allocated between users based on actual usage. Please see the "Pricing" sheet for more general information on licensing rates and configuration options.
Web based CRM/GUI for entering and updating tickets Supported EnterpriseWizard is 100% web-based. Tickets can be created by agents on behalf of customers, and directly by customers accessing an end user portal, which also allows them to track previously submitted issues. Administrators can configure inbound email accounts for any table in the system to allow the automatic creation of records by emails sent to a specified address.
Web based GUI for Administration Supported EnterpriseWizard uses the browser for all administration and provides interactive wizards that guide and provide detailed help on each option.
Supports multiple access levels Supported Access levels are supported via group-based permissions. Multiple groups are configured by default, and custom groups can be added at any time. For each group, the administrator can define what tables, reports, views, and searches may be accessed, and whether members of the group can modify resources, edit, mass edit, view, or delete records.

Saved searches can also restrict privileges to records meeting specific conditions. EW also supports the concept of teams, which allows for team-based assignment, team-based look and feel, and different working hours.
Web based GUI for reporting Supported EnterpriseWizard provides a web-based reporting engine in the staff interface. Staff users, when granted permission, can create, edit and run Reports and Dashboards. Reports and Dashboards can also be scheduled to run automatically and distributed via email, or saved to disk so they're accessible via a URL.
Web based GUI for incident reporting supports multiple customer/partner organizations. Supported User interaction with EnterpriseWizard is 100% web-based. Incident reports may be segmented on any criteria, including which customer/partner submitted and/or worked on the original report.

The customer/parter information is pulled into the ticket automatically when they submit the record. If the incident is reported over the phone, the Support Cases table includes a linked set of fields that allows agents to choose the customer and partner associated with the ticket. Any table in EnterpriseWizard can be set up to pull in a linked record from a Contacts table so that records may be submitted by any number of contacts.
Partner/customer organizations supports
multiple individual logins each
Supported Each partner/customer organization can have an unlimited number of logins for their users in the Contacts/End-User table that is part of the default KnowledgeBase. For example, the Contact/End User table may contain 50,000 end user records for Company A and 7 end user record for Company B, and each end user has his own login.
Application can create and track projects
and hours spent on each project
Supported EnterpriseWizard can track projects, hours spent on each project and also finer gradations, such as hours spent by each team or individual on each project. The Billing field data type can be added to any table in the system and the table wizard allows administrators to create new Projects tables and embed a related table that tracks hours spent on each.
Projects can be associated with support tickets/incidents Supported Projects can be associated with support tickets/incidents and charts/reports generated that segment the results based on these associations. These relationships are fully bi-directional; for example, you can show all the Support Cases related to a particular Project and all the Project (or even Projects) associated with a particular Support Case.
Hours of work can be calculated automatically based on when the ticket is opened and closed Supported
The Billing field type can automatically calculate time worked based on when the ticket is opened/closed. The
Options tab on the Billing field wizard allows the administrator to configure further details such as whether staff can/must confirm these values.
Hours of work for a project can be updated
manually
Supported The administrator can manually update Billing fields and also specify which other Access Groups have such authority.
Web-facing knowledge base supports using
multiple logins with varying access rights for users.
Supported EnterpriseWizard's integrated web-facing knowledgebase can be accessed by users of different Access Groups. The administrator can precisely define which records and fields should be available to each access group using a saved search, controlling whether the group can access the knowledgebase at all, or only records meeting certain criteria.
Multi-language support Supported EW supports multiple concurrent languages for the staff and end-user interface. The administrator can define which languages should be accessible for every Team in the system. This functionality allows a user to choose the language of his preference. The system supports English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese, and Brazilian Portuguese by default. The Administrator can also use a wizard to do custom translation for other languages.
Supports multiple help desk support representatives with individual logins and varying access levels Supported Access levels are supported via group-based permissions. Help desk support representatives (or anyone accessing EnterpriseWizard through the staff interface) may have individual logins, and may each belong to one or more access groups. Group membership determines a user's permissions in terms of what tables, records, fields, menus, reports and dashboards they can see and edit.
Supports different access levels and views for external vs. internal and varying levels of security for each Supported Access levels are supported via group-based permissions. Default groups in the system include those for internal and external users, with permissions defined appropriately for tables like Support Cases and Helpdesk
Cases. Configurable group-based permissions allow you to precisely define the security levels for each group
of user in your system.
Supports internal vs external view for notes with internal only notes not being accessible to the customers/partners. Supported The "Staff-only" notes field in the default Support Cases table is set up so that the Customer group does not have permission to see the field, but Support Staff members do. You can configure permissions at the field level for each user group in the system.
Must be able to import old ticket and contact tracking data. Supported Data can easily be imported into the system through an import wizard manually, or you can use a scheduled import action in a business rule. The wizard allows you to map the fields in your import file to fields in the destination table in EnterpriseWizard.
Import/export capability for database and reporting. Supported The entire EnterpriseWizard project can be exported on demand, and the records from any table exported on demand. As mentioned previously, reports can also be scheduled to run automatically and those results saved to disk in formats like Excel or tab-delimited text.
Provide access to requestor history Supported EnterpriseWizard's default Contact/End User table is set up so that you can easily view all the cases a user has submitted in the past. Related tables like this can be included as a data type in any table you create in EnterpriseWizard, allowing you to accurately portray one-to-many or many-to-many relationships.
Automatically assign ticket numbers Supported Unique IDs are automatically assigned to all new records in EnterpriseWizard tables.
Convert emails automatically into new Tickets Supported Administrator can define one or many inbound email accounts for each table, and map email fields to Ticket fields.
Customizable dashboard Supported The reporting engine allows you to construct and publish dashboards using any combination of reports you like. Default dashboards for Helpdesk and Support Tickets are preconfigured, and may be edited, or you can create brand new custom dashboards. Just like individual reports, dashboards can be scheduled with results emailed or saved to disk.
Customizable home page Supported Staff users can adjust preferences so that they're taken to the application in its last state, or to a specific table's saved search. An upcoming enhancement will also allow the user to configure a home page with default searches and links to commonly used functions in the program.
News Bulletin/Ticker Supported Administrators can set up custom page headers and footers between which the EnterpriseWizard application is displayed, and can use this area to display a variety of information. The staff messaging system can also be used to send broadcast messages to online staff, either individually or to entire teams.
Calendar Supported Calendar function allows staff to create appointments, reminders, and to view other staff schedules. The calendar form itself may be customized, just like any other table.
Electronic signatures Supported EnterpriseWizard's History functionality shows a record's full audit trail of changes through time, including the user who made the change, the date and time modified, the field(s) modified, and the old and new values. The record can be previewed in snapshot mode at any point in history. Historical values are also available to EnterpriseWizard's integrated reporting engine.
Team Management Supported In addition to the default Teams already set up in EnterpriseWizard, the administrator can set up as many new teams as required. The Team Wizard allows the administrator to specify a team leader, working hours, and languages available. Teams are used for assignment and notification.
Record Links Supported Can easily link selected records so that one record is accessible from others.
Custom tables Supported EnterpriseWizard's Table Wizard allows members of the admin group to modify existing tables, including form layout and field options, as well as creating new fields. Admins may also add brand-new functionality to the system by creating entirely new custom tables, which can have customized workflow, business rules, reports, etc...
Custom fields Supported The Field Wizard allows you to create custom fields with a wide variety of data types (from choice fields, text, floating point, URL, attached files, to related tables and linked fields in other tables. For every field, you're able to set options including whether the field is required, deletable, includes help text, and more.
Custom forms Supported The Table Wizard allows you to drag and drop fields into precise locations on forms for the end user and staff user, as well as create new tabs, rows, columns, and defining text.
Custom relationships Supported The Table Wizard allows you to show related table data, or pull in information from a related record in another table.
Custom views Supported Custom views can be defined and published at the administrator level or user level, allowing users to configure exactly how they see a list of records in a table, including the fields that are displayed, the order of the fields, and even row coloring behavior.
Custom searches Supported EnterpriseWizard's powerful search engine allows administrators and users to create and save searches that find precisely the records they're looking for, using simple filters, time-based filters, calendar filters, and advanced filters that can find specific changes in value of a field. The wizard provides parenthetical grouping as well as historical searching. These searches can be used as the basis of business rules and reports.
Custom look and feel Supported Using the look and feel wizard, the administrator can define different "skins" for the application, allowing for custom branding.
Custom groups Supported Using the Group Management wizard, administrators can precisely define all the access groups that will be interacting with the application, and the tables and features they're allowed to use.
Custom teams Supported In addition to the default Teams already set up in EnterpriseWizard, the administrator can set up as many teams new teams as required. The Team Wizard allows the administrator to specify a team leader, working hours, and languages available. Teams are used for assignment and notification.
Duplicate record avoidance Supported Fields can be set up so that unique values are required before the record can be saved.
Automatic date/time stamping Supported Standard fields like Date Created and Date Updated are created automatically for you in new tables. Custom date/time fields' values can be set automatically through business rules. Append-only field types automatically date and time stamp the note when the record is saved, along with the updater's name.
Provide scripts as to best course of action
Configurable
Technicians can search for solutions in existing records and import them into the current ticket. Forms can also be designed so that fields display dynamically based on the visiblity and/or value of other fields.
Smart forms Supported EW offers a variety of field types and options that can cause forms to display dynamically. For example, choice lists may be defined as dependent on other choice lists, so that their values refresh based on values in another list.

Fields may also be defined as visible and required only if another specified field has a certain value. Attachment field types allow you to add any kind of supporting documentation in other formats desired, and field types like action buttons can run custom scripts.
Tasks Supported EW includes an Activity table, in which tasks can be created and assigned. It can be used as a standalone task list, with tasks created by any user the administrator allows. The table can also be embedded as a related table in tickets, if you wish to create an issue-specific task list.
Views Supported Administrator may create a variety of useful views and publish them to groups of users; may also allow some groups of users to create or edit views. Views control how you see the information displayed in a table, including the fields displayed, the order in which they're displayed, row coloring, and more.
Searches Supported Any combination of fields tracked in the system can be searched, and those searches can be saved and published to different groups of users. The search capability allows users to use advanced options like parenthetical grouping, and/or, historical searching, attached file searching, as well as various filter options that allow for complex date time searches and specific changes in field values.
Quick record creation Supported Tickets may be copied, and template tickets may be created and converted when required into tickets.
History/Audit Trail Supported A complete audit trail is available for every record in the system, and you can open each history record to see exactly who changed what fields, and the differences in field value. Historical searching and reporting is available.
Integrated email Supported Email is integrated into the system. You can specify inbound and outbound email accounts for every table to enable automatic ticket creation and updates. An associated Communications table tracks all emails sent to and from the system in regard to a particular record.

Business rules and workflow can send email templates which can be customized, and users can send manual emails through the system, populating from a template as desired. The email editor has HTML controls available, and options exist that allow you to configure hyperlinks that allow the recipient to edit records or update fields. Emails can be sent en masse to a collection of contacts, or to individuals as desired.
Mass email Supported Email templates can be created and saved, and sent to a selected number of contacts, or sent to all records that meet a particular search. Emails can include hyperlinks that allow users to view or edit records in the system, and that set values of fields in the system behind the scenes.
Email hotlinks Supported System allows embedded links in emails that can be configured to view and edit records in the system, and/or to set the value of specific fields.
Related tables Supported Related tables are a field type that can be used to show the Support Cases for a particular end user, or Activities/Tasks associated with a ticket for example. This can allow technicians to search first for a user, and then quickly create a new ticket for them right from their user record.
Resolved on first call/time to close Supported You can easily add a yes/no field to track whether the issue was resolved on the first call and set up automation to set the value automatically, or to allow staff or end users to access the field. You can also create an integer type field that tracks the number of contacts a particular ticket requires.

Billing is built into the system in case you want to track the number of hours technicians have spent on tickets (billable or unbillable). Date/time fields can also be used to track total time to close.
WMI Integration Supported The WMI field type allows you to collect information automatically about a user's hardware, software, and OS at the time they submit a ticket. This can be useful when you're allowing end users to submit their issues through the end-user web portal.
Survey tool Configurable Surveys can be created in EnterpriseWizard and automation rules can direct users toward a survey automatically when tickets are closed for example. You can also set up automated imports of data if your survey results exist in another system.
Standard solution lookup Supported System supports searching for an existing solution by keyword and importing it into the current record.
Real-time Dashboards Supported Custom dashboards can be created to display as many reports as necessary from separate tables in the system.
Chart, HTML, Excel reporting Supported The integrated reporting engine allows you to create your own reports in chart, HTML, and Excel format. Chart types include column bar charts, segmented column bar charts, pie charts, line charts, and segmented line charts. The wizard enables you to set up trend analyses and spent time analyses, as well as reporting on historical values.

Customizable workflow
Supported
EW's graphical workflow editor allows you to map the lifecycle and business process of records in every table in the system, and automate actions as state transitions occur (including field updates, email notifications, validation, scripts, and more). If desired, you can allow staff to see and/or override workflow actions.
Must have business rules and workflows
that can be updated without development efforts.
Supported
The workflow editor is accessed via a stanard browser and provides a drag & drop graphical interface that does not require any programing.

The business rules editor is also accessible to anyone with admin group privileges, and the wizard allows the user to specify and create the type of business rule, the records that apply, and the actions that should occur when records are found meeting the search criteria all via the browser and all without writing a single line of code. Creating and updating workflows and business rules takes less than a minute.
Must be able to track and notify based on SLA levels. Supported The business rules engine allows administrators to create time-based rules that can operate on specified records (ex. Tickets created more than 10 minutes ago that are still Open), and notify appropriate persons by email.
Must have the ability to track SLA and create exports. Supported You can configure reports that are scheduled to run periodically on specified records (ex. Tickets created more than 10 minutes ago that are still Open), and have the report either emailed or saved to disk. Reports are available in Chart, HTML, and Excel/tab-delimited text formats.
Create/Edit/Delete Rules Supported The business rules engine allows the admin to created/edit/delete custom rules in a matter of minutes. You can configure business rules that can run whenever records are created, edited or deleted and these criteria may be further refined by the method of creation or edit (web, email, or API).

Saved searches can find the exact records on which to operate, and then a series of actions can do your bidding -- from updating fields, sending emails, running scripts and more.
Time-based rules Supported Time-based rules can be configured to run on the schedule you specify, and when records are found that meet your search criteria, the rule can run a series of actions. For example, you might automatically update the "Assigned To" field if tickets are found that are still open after 72 hours, or you might notify management if tickets aren't closed in an appropriate amount of time.

This kind of rule can also notify technicians if an issue is still open after 48 hours, and instruct them to explain the reason for it still being open (under review, requesting more info from client). Once a reason is chosen and the record is saved, another business rule (of the "Edit" type above) can send an email to the customer and letting them know the reason for the delay.
Supports a system for an updatable on-call schedule, tied to notification of SLA commitments
Configurable
EnterpriseWizard's Team manager allows you to specify the working hours of any given team, which you can use within searches to ensure that SLA commitments are met.

Pricing

EnterpriseWizard is available as a hosted service or for outright purchase.

Its cost is based on the number of named staff users (seats), and includes an option for unlimited end-user access. We also offer concurrent staff licensing. Concurrent licenses may be purchased in combination with named licenses in limited amounts. Volume pricing is available.

With a purchased system, licensing costs occur only the first year, and rates depend on your server's operating system (Windows or Linux). In subsequent years, the only recurring charge is for the annual support and upgrade contract, priced at 20% of the licenses' total current value.

Hosted service includes support and maintenance and is available on a monthly or yearly basis. The application may also be leased and run on in-house servers.

EnterpriseWizard Licensing Model

The EnterpriseWizard license model is based on purchasing some number of licenses, or seats, for fixed "staff" users and an optional license for unlimited "end users".   An organization using EnterpriseWizard internally may at first think that all employees need to be staff users.  This is not usually the case.  Following is a definition of these user types.

Staff Users

We use the term staff user not to mean employee, but rather to indicate users who will interact with the system as "technicians" – essentially, these are users who must be able to work on records that are created by or on behalf of other people.

To summarize:
•    A staff user is a user who belongs to at least one group defined as a staff group.
•    Staff users require a named staff user license, or seat
•    Staff users use the staff interface to interact with the program
•    Typically staff users are those users who work on other people’s records or who need access to functionality only provided in the staff interface (reports, charts, dashboards, etc.)

End Users

End users are all people who interact with the system as customers or consumers of the system – they can submit records, view any records made accessible to them, view FAQs, and edit any records they own.  They may be employees of your company or outside customers or vendors.

To summarize:
•    An end user is a user who belongs only to a group defined as an end user group, who may be an employee or an outside customer or vendor.  
•    End Users access the program through the end user interface or web portal
•    End users can login under an unlimited end user license
•    The main limitation on end users is that they are not permitted to edit records owned by other people.  Ownership may be defined for each table based on a match of any field in the table to any user field.  As an example, in a support context, you might define the Submitter Company field as the ownership field for the support case table, so that any end user from a particular company could potentially view and edit all records submitted by other people at that company.

Implementation

Overview
We provide full implementation services on either a fixed price or time and materials basis. We also offer 5-day administrator training courses so that customers can learn to do their own implementations.

The time needed for implementation depends on the details, and the first task is to develop a complete and detailed specification, after which we can provide a quote for a fixed price implementation, or the customer may choose to go with an hourly approach. Customer staff with extensive knowledge of each department’s and corporate requirements will need to be available to explain and document the requirements, to answer questions, and to provide as much assistance as desired to assist in the implementation."

Project Timeline
A detailed project timeline after the development of the specification. Generally, a complex implementation can be completed in a few weeks and will require a week of customer testing prior to going live.

The speed with which a specification can be developed will depend in large part on the customer's ability to clearly explain and document its specific requirements. Our participation in generating a specification typically involves about 5-7 days of consulting. To arrive at a complete specification in this amount of time does require dedicated customer personnel and previous internal consensus-building discussions about how the system should work.

Specification Development: approximately 7 days from receipt of PO

The written specification will include details of the EnterpriseWizard tables, fields, required rule and workflow automation, and all other elements of the implementation provided in as much detail as possible. The specification will consist of a Word document with several associated spreadsheets, diagrams and other materials necessary to convey the essential details of the implementation.

The specification will be based on decisions made jointly by the customer and EnterpriseWizard staff as detailed in worksheets and documents provided to EnterpriseWizard, documents the customer may produce, email Q&A, and telephone conversations.

Changes to the specification may naturally be made at the customer's request at any time during the implementation process, but they may impact the implementation time and cost.

In order to meet the deadlines, the customer must make its decision makers available to participate in calls and to provide detailed written information requested as part of the specification development phase. Screenshots and documentation of all systems and procedures currently in use that the EnterpriseWizard system will replace will also be helpful to save time in developing the specification and performing an efficient implementation.

Fee Structure
Implementation/consulting services are available at a rate of $200/hour, or $1600/day for off-site services, or $2000/day for onsite services plus travel expenses. We are also happy to provide a fixed price quote for an implementation after a detailed specification is created.

Training

EnterpriseWizard offers a variety of training services. We offer regular training courses for EnterpriseWizard Administrators, which last 5 days. We also offer personalized on-site or off-site trainings at a rate of $2000/day plus travel expenses. If you are taking part in a personalized training, the curriculum is tailored to your application’s specifications, and involves hands-on practice. Periodic web-based sessions are also available.

Support

The standard support package includes all upgrades and enhancements, and US telephone support from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM EST. There is no case limit. Tickets may be submitted online 24/7 through our Support website, and customers also have access to our online FAQs. Response time is 1 business day.
