     a. Customer Support at Go-Live (20 December). We are all in this together and we are committed to ensuring you have the resources and help you need at Go-Live.

CRM resides within IPPS-A and provides access to customer support resources, including a knowledge base built into the system, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and a trouble ticket submission interface. This can be used by you to tell us about issues you are having with the system and can also be used as a method for self-service users to contact you to ask questions.
