Thank you for choosing Sikka Software! To get started working with a customer’s data we need to install the SikkaSoft Platform Utility on the Customer’s server computer. This instructional video on New Client Onboarding walks you and the customer through registering on the Sikka Marketplace and installing the SikkaSoft Platform Utility. To later retrieve another download link refer to this video on Downloading the SPU from Marketplace.

 

When choosing which computer to install the utility refer to this document for the 

Minimum System Requirements.

 

You may encounter issues with installing the utility. If so, refer to this document for troubleshooting Sikka Utility Installation Issues. After the first successful data refresh, provide the end-user with this document on Ensuring Accurate Data containing steps the end-user can take to keep the data syncing consistently.

 

By default, the utility will sync data at 2:00 am local time for the customer. This may not be the best time if a system backup is also scheduled to run at that time or the computer reboots at that time in the evening. Refer to this document for How to change the scheduled refresh time for Sikka Utility.


After onboarding, there may be issues further down the road. In the event, you encounter any issues with the data sync we have a collection of guides for troubleshooting issues with the SikkaSoft Platform Utility.
