Getting started - Placing your first order

CONGRATULATIONS!

Your registration has been successfully completed and you've now logged into your AC Portal, seeing your Dashboard for the very first time! "What now?" I hear you ask :) 

Well, as you can see...we need to firstly get you a Partnership (contract) (all End-User & Partner types require this, as the contractual tier and duration will determine the amount of pattern you get allocated & what discounts may apply). 

The next thing on the list, as an End-User, will be to get an AC server for your users (at present, we offer a 'cloud based' hosted solution - 'On-Premise' solution coming soon!). At the same time, you'll also be able to order the amount of User licenses that you are initially going to require on it.

And the last thing will be to order your batch of digital pens, so that you can start capturing that handwriting and getting your forms automatically transcribed and processed. Please find below further details about each step...
