Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Concerto works closely in partnership with our clients from getting started and training right through to the everyday use of our software. We use our project methodology and expertise to help you manage the planning and implementation of our software, supporting you every step of the way and ensuring your implementation is a success.

Each implementation has a kick off workshop where we help you plan and break everything down into a project with work packages. Each subsequent work package has a workshop to establish requirements and resources, gain a clear understanding of your needs and how your organisation works to get the best from the software. We manage your implementation using Concerto Projects so you have complete visibility of your project’s progress.

We ensure your key data is correctly migrated from old systems - Often a large volume of complex data is involved so we are able to tailor fields to your requirements.

Our dedicated in-house help desk team are available to answer any questions and provide future support for the life of our software. We provide in house training, user manuals, online help, a support help desk and a video training library.

Service interface

API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
The Concerto system provides a number of API endpoints for the purposes of web-based mobile applications and to communicate with external software. In both cases, client software authenticates via credentials and/or an API key, which are provided by Concerto. Said API endpoints provide specific functionality necessary for other software to manipulate data in the system. A traditional user provides authentication information in the other software, which in turn authenticates with the core Concerto application. User interactions with the other software are then translated into data manipulation commands via the API endpoints. Our API endpoints are configured only to perform tasks specifically required for the operation of web-based mobile applications and external software.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Each change in the system is discussed internally to judge the potential impact on different clients.
All code changes are recorded to keep track.
Vulnerability management type
Undisclosed
Vulnerability management approach
Concerto commissions six-monthly penetration tests via an impartial third party to identify potential threats. Any threats identified are resolved within a week following a test. Concerto operates a monthly release process in which regression-tested product features and non-critical fixes are delivered to clients. Hotfixes for critical bugs and vulnerabilities are deployed immediately as patches to the most recent formal release.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
Concerto operates server-level and application-level monitoring. Alerts relating to the availability of a server or application are raised via email to a number of key personnel within the business. In the instance that a server is taken offline, our DR provision includes load balancing and failover servers that are typically operable within four hours of an incident. In the further event of a hardware failure, automatic DR processes transition data to another hardware host within approximately two hours. In the event that a new server requires provisioning and configuring, we aim to restore application availability within one day.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
Concerto follows industry best practise incident management processes which are governed by our ISO 9001 and 27001 processes. Users report issues via the telephone or logging a ticket through the Concerto Helpdesk portal. All incidents are categorised and then managed to completion based on agreed priories. In addition, Concerto also follows the required guidelines for subject access requests as outlined by GDPR.
