Many Surpass users believe that the best feature of Surpass software isn't in the box - it's on the other end of the phone! The Surpass Support Team is standing by, ready to answer any of your questions and to help you work through any problem you might encounter using any Surpass software application.

Whether you use Surpass SL, Surpass Select, or Centriva, all librarians and their staff are entitled to call our support hotline for help, not just those who have attended vendor training. Our approach of direct-access support is quite different from some of our larger competitors who believe that their "centralized" automation systems should only include "centralized" support, where only a few of your district-level or system-level personnel are entitled to call for support and all individual librarians must funnel their support requests through those few people.

At Surpass, we feel that when you have a question you should be able to reach for the phone and receive expert vendor assistance in just a few minutes with a simple toll-free phone call and no hold time and without complicated phone menus that attempt to direct you to so-called "automated" help

Surpass Support Benefits
