Slightly different to a lot of the posts here. As a school we are happy to Stay with SIMS as a product, to effectively choose to leave within 2 months is a tough ask for any large educational facility. Especially trying to convince staff that they are going to have to do everything differently.
I have been in contact briefly with the annual entitlement people and have requested the following information. In principle we are more than happy to sign up for 3 years, as this will give us time and the ability to see and look at other products without it being a kneejerk reaction. But we are already planning on removing the finance package after year 1. I'm trying to get confirmation that the price will reduce in Yr. 2 and Yr. 3 if we were to cancel a module. As yet they have not been able to answer this question. Which was asked over 7 days ago.
On the other hand though they have confirmed that modules would be allowed to be added through this time, but the price would increase.
We are looking to move away from FMS and possibly InTouch over the next 3 years, but just need confirmation from Annual entitlement that the price we are signing up now, will reduce in yr. 2 and 3 if the modules are cancelled.
If anyone has had success in negotiating this or has any clarification how a reduction in a module would affect the cost i would be interested in your comments.
