Maintenance and Technical Support (MATS)
When you purchase MapInfo Professional, or upgrade to the latest version, you automatically receive limited 30 day BASE support. But, many people find they use technical support well after this initial period, as they perform more and more sophisticated analyses and create complicated maps. MapInfo is now offering an all-in-one maintenance and support program called MATS. It is a single package offering that is designed to ensure your success. MATS includes services such as product upgrade protection, technical support, online lessons and discounted rates to MapWorld, MapInfo's annual user conference and user networking event. You can enroll yearly in the optional Silver or Gold MATS package. Contact McElhanney for pricing.
