Retainers further develop the relationship between your church staff and a person at ACS Technologies. No matter where you are in your MinistryPlatform journey, a retainer relationship can benefit your church in the following ways:

  • Regular meetings between your team and our representative
  • A discount for prepayment of services
  • Three-month renewable retainer terms

Technician on Retainer

Work with our talented team of technicians to use MinistryPlatform to its fullest. You might want a technician on retainer when your church has a strong MinistryPlatform administrator (SPoC) and wants to extend and automate many features. For pricing, call 1-800-736-7425.

Technician service includes:

  • Having the technician in your project management system (for example, MS Teams).
  • Work against your sandbox and/or production system.
  • MinistryPlatform database extensions, such as custom tables and fields.
  • MinistryPlatform metadata extensions, such as pages, sub-pages or tabs, read-only pages, and filtered pages.
  • MinistryPlatform automation, such as notifications, processes, and webhooks.
  • Report authoring, like paginated, mobile reports.
  • Database automation, such as routines and notifications allowed.

Our technicians have a broad range of skills and there are many things they can help your team accomplish within the time budget. Even if our technician doesn't have a particular skill, they can consult with a different technician. That time applies to your retainer at the retainer rate.
