SIMS.net Avg. Price

[binky]

Ok, here's a question for all everyone who has SIMS.net which is supported by their LEA (If you're in reading thats even better ). What is the average price per pc, for SIMS.net.

Birmingham support schools using SIMS and CMIS. As for the cost per PC I have absolutely no idea. I am guessing Birmingham have an agreement with Capita as they're the biggest authority in Europe!

Ok, well not per pc, per school (and roughly how many licenses you have?)

[Michael]

I don't know if it is licensed per machine or per school. At all sites I support, all office/administrative staff (2 or 3), the Head, Deputy and myself all have Sims installed - so 6 in total. This is for Primary. I'm sure Secondary have it installed on more machines.

I believe, here at least, it is licensed per student. Don't know how much though.

We've got about 1200 students and I've budgeted for about £7k (last years price was approx £6.5k), however it does depend on what sims modules you actually have - our yearly maintenance will be under £9k if we take up lesson monitor. We're supported directly by Capitaes Bedford

 

Hope this helps.

I know that if we opt to use the local authority SLA then, its £100 per workstation with them supplying and supporting the workstation.

We're1400 students and the annual agreement is £3500 ish. We can use that on as many PC's a we want and we use Lesson Monitor. Supported by central helpdesk.

I would expect the real cost, the TCO would be around £20k per annum if you include the hidden costs of training, hardware, maintenance, forced upgrades etc.
