Customer Onboarding Guide

Everything you need to know before, during, and after deploying HurricaneSoft products at your organization.

① Five Questions Every Client Asks
What you're thinking Our answer
What if something breaks during setup? HurricaneSoft takes full responsibility. We fix it — on our time, not yours.
Is our IT team capable enough? Cloud products need no IT. On-premise only requires someone who can turn on a computer.
What if we want to cancel mid-way? Cloud trial period: free cancellation, take your data with you. On-premise: data stays on your machine.
Who do I call when something goes wrong? Email — 1 business day response. Enterprise plan includes a phone hotline.
Is my data safe? Cloud: AES-256 encryption, Taiwan data center. On-premise: data never leaves your environment.
② Four-Phase Onboarding Process
③ Fastest Go-Live Time by Product
Time Product Staffing Needed
30–60 min Manta 1 person — business background sufficient
Half day Anemone 1 person — able to edit website HTML
1 day Gyre 1 person — social media account manager
3 biz days Conch / Abacus / Nautilus 1–2 people
5–10 biz days LocalIDS / Squid / LobsterFarm Requires an IT contact on your side
④ Why Not Custom IT Development?

✗ Custom IT development

  • Timeline: 3–6 months to first version
  • Cost: re-quoted every time you need a change
  • Lock-in: only that vendor can read the code
  • Exit: hard — your data is trapped in their system

✓ HurricaneSoft

  • Timeline: 3 days to 1 month, live on Day 1
  • Cost: fixed monthly fee, updates included
  • Responsibility: we own the issue, we fix it
  • Exit: cancel anytime, take your data with you
