- Cloud solution for monthly subscription
We have modeled our price after the number of reports and how much customization is required. A rough idea about the price to be around US$ 500 for initial one time setup fee and US$ 100 per report type per year. We are open to monthly or annual subscription models. So if you have 7 reports in your company then the initial cost should be $1200. The cloud solution can be hosted on the client cloud.
We usually pack all information into the client hosting to deploy a copy. The database management system is another name for a custom solution that is hosted on the cloud privately for each client.
The only extra cost after initial setup is the hosting. We recommend a small private cloud for hosting. That is around 20-30$ per month e.g from DigitalOcean. This is a highly advanced piece of web software and as such requires latest hosting package. We can set this up on a VPS – not recommended on a shared server though.
