The portal provides technical information, answers, and re- sources for your Bently Nevada hardware and software products. To access the site, you must register for a GE Single Sign On (SSO) account. Your SSO account will usually be activated within 24 hours of your registration request. Once you’re a registered user, you’ll have a wealth of Bently Nevada product support resources at your fingertips. For immediate help, you can search our Answer Card library. We have over 1,000 Answer Cards for your reference, and more are added daily. If you can’t find your answer through self-help, you can log a case with our team of experts. Not only does this give you a Technical Support Case Number to facilitate the real-time tracking of your case, it enables you to start a case history that you can reference at a later date. You can also explore your online service knowl- edge repository and request copies of your site service reports. You can even download computer-based training (CBT) modules for your purchased products. The features that you can access in the TSA portal are based on your specific TSA level. There are three levels of TSAs (Silver, Gold, and Platinum), and the level that pertains to you is a function of the product(s) you have purchased, the elapsed time since delivery of your product(s), and whether you have renewed your TSA at the complimentary Silver level or at a higher level offering more support. Customers at all TSA levels are provided with online case management, viewing of new product information, and downloading of product manuals and firmware updates. Customers with Gold- or Platinum-level TSAs have access to additional features such as software upgrades, system deployment repository, factory test data reports, online CBTs, and Technical Support usage reports and audits. Platinum-level TSA customers have exclusive benefits including field service report histories, remote troubleshooting of software products (high speed access required), and disaster recov- ery assistance in the event of a hard disk crash or other computer failure. Whether you hold a Silver-, Gold-, or Platinum-level TSA, our Technical Support Portal is an extremely powerful resource designed to deliver tailored support capabilities and information.
