Product / Service Migration Options
For both new and existing clients the alternative is to migrate to our standard existing customer journey solutions:
- Orchestra
- QCS
- Experience Cloud
We do NOT intend to create a new offer targeted towards small solo clients. We are aware that many of our existing SOLO-clients will not have a suitable alternative. We want to convert our existing Enterprise clients to Orchestra/QCS/Enterprise Cloud as this brings the most value to Qmatic and the clients.
Who and how to migrate suitable clients will be on a case by case basis to optimize client needs.
For clients that want to buy more SOLO systems, expand it or replace it:
If we offer QCS or Experience Cloud solutions add a HUB to support usage of existing Intro 5 and Intro 8. If we offer Orchestra as the alternative to SOLO, the existing Intro 5 and Intro 8 is compatible. In case of high security needs they need to be replaced with G2 equipment.
