Maximize the Value of Your Planview Investment

The TAM Program is designed exclusively for our most valued customers on a Premium or Premium Plus plan. This offering provides a full time or part time partner who will diligently analyze and understand your unique business use cases and processes in order to drive value and efficiency.

Our subject matter expert will be your centralized hub for technical inquiries, proactive monitoring, and risk mitigation. The proactive approach ensures your operations run smoothly and efficiently. 


Premium Distinction   

Premium members are assigned a Support Engineer to conduct monthly case status reviews, and ensure any issues that may arise are addressed. They will become familiar with your specific Planview environments, provide insights, and serve as an advocate for high-priority issues. 

Members will also benefit from the expertise of Planview's Professional Services team with quarterly consulting hours, and prioritized case submissions. In addition, Premium members will receive priority routing throughout the support ticket lifecycle—from initial triage, escalation to development teams, to the scheduling of fix deployments.

Access to one instance of each Sandbox to test and stage releases prior to production go-live is also included within this support package. Your Sandbox is a replica of your production application installed in a separate environment. It includes all data and can be used without compromising the data and stability of your active production environment as you test new features, build configurations, and conduct training.
