Across all of our products we have also introduced 2 new pricing options, which we hope will help to make our software more affordable for a lot of customers.

Firstly, we have introduced “Starter Packs” for each of the products, priced at $199. With these we hope to make our software an affordable option for smaller businesses and small SharePoint installations.  The starter pack license can be used for SharePoint installations using a single Web Front End (your database server can still be separate) and up to 25 users.

We thought it was important to introduce this level of pricing not only because SharePoint is becoming so widely used by smaller businesses, but also because of the way SharePoint most typically gets deployed within the Enterprise.

The research for our free white paper so SharePoint End User adoption showed that very often SharePoint is initially utilised by one team or workgroup within an organisation, before gaining more widespread organisational use.  Our new $199 Starter Pack Pricing means that our products will now fall within budget for a small team or workgroup deployment.

We have also introduced a new “3-pack” license, which is a mid way option between the single server license and the “unlimited use” site license.  Research amongst our existing customers showed that very many farms use 3 Web Front End servers and separate indexing and database servers, so our 3-pack license offers an ideal and affordable solution for many farm deployments.

Adding these options to our Free Non-Profit licenses and 25% educational discounts means that we now have a pricing structure that we hope offers an affordable solution for everyone.

We hope you agree, and if you do have any comments or suggestions please get in touch.
