In conjunction with the ECMS deployment Synthax are partnering with OBEDIA to expand their technical support hours of coverage for RME users to 8am PST – 12am PST, seven days a week.

“Our RME user base is growing, as is the complexity of their audio production systems,” states Brian McCall, Synthax VP Operations. “We needed a solution to effectively manage the resulting increased demands on our technical support, and OBEDIA’s ECMS has provided that. Also by partnering with OBEDIA to extend our technical support hours of operation we have significantly increased our level of service to our RME users.”
