Services

How members get value out of the co-op.

Chattanooga.Digital's services include compliance along with software services and support services. Compliance with open source licenses and practices is integral to everything the co-op does.

Software services are basically what all members get, for which they pay an annual membership fee and utilization fees. Support services are limited in scope to tier-one support and owner-agent project and relationship management — to ensure members have the partners they need to make the most of their digital assets.

Software Services

Software services are all provided via containers within the Chattanooga.Digital cloud or on hosts managed by Chattanooga.Digital.

Section 03 · Support

Support Services

Chattanooga.Digital's support services are limited to ensuring the infrastructure is operating and accessible, basic operations of any devices sold by the co-op, and compliance with legal, licensing, and security obligations associated with members' use, modification, and distribution of open-source software. Members can contract for higher levels of support on a case-by-case basis.

Project Support Services

Chattanooga.Digital provides project support services as members' owner-agent for an additional fee. We will assist project sponsors in finding collaborators and service providers, and we will manage work as a project to ensure it is specified and completed correctly, on time, for a reasonable cost.
