Braided Matrix prefers to support certified 4Q Developers

  1. We suggest that clients who need us to help them with development service work with a certified 4Q developer.
  2. Braided Matrix provides sufficient 4D programming support to assure the success of custom projects managed by Certified 4Q Developers. We may not be able to provide sufficient support for projects managed by non-certified developers, or for projects whose design deviates from our coding guidelines.
  3. When clients purchase tech support, we require that they assign a maximum of two contact people who will receive support. Our support is useful to developers and administrators of 4th Quarter. We do not provide support for end users.
