Investment or pay-per-use?
Speaking to many of the archivists who are working on preserving the recorded heritage of the past century, we have noticed that getting budgets approved for the required tools is often a difficult task.
This is why we have eliminated this problem by offering pay-per-use - a fair model that helps our customers save costs.
The total costs are limited to a fixed maximum also in the pay-per-use model. The maximum is offered just as for a conventional flat fee license. Using our pay-per-use model you will never pay more than for a conventional flat-fee license as provided from other vendors – even if you transfer hundred thousands of hours! We guarantee - just as we do for our unlimited flat-fee licenses! Request your offer!
Besides moving the costs from investments to operational costs this model also eliminates “system utilization” in your cost calculation.
Some Examples:
| Costs for PC (single stream) | ~ € 500 |
| Costs for 8-channel 192 kHz A/D converter | € 880 |
| Costs for software license (single stream) | € 2.390 |
| Total cost for a single stream system | ~ € 3.770 |
| Total costs for a four stream system (includes Quad Core PC & RME Fireface™) | ~ € 11.440 |
| Charge per transferred program hour (up to the offered maximum – then free) | € 1/h |
Assumptions Case 1:
| Recording of 2 analog channels in parallel | |
| Incl. detection of artefacts | |
| Incl. hardware | |
| Usage 2 shifts / 8 hours per day | |
| 3 years of use | |
| 200 days per year | |
| 1 hour average program duration | |
| 1.5 hours working time per transfer |
| Investment model: | Usage-based model: |
|---|---|
| Total investment: € 20.000 | Total investment: € 3.770 |
| Cost per program hour: | Cost per program hour: |
| Investment / years / shifts / hours / stereo streams * process time | Investment / years / shifts / hours / stereo streams + usage fee |
| => 20000 / 3 / 2 / 8 / 200 / 1 * 1.5 = € 3.10 | => 3770 / 3 / 2 / 8 / 200 / 1 + 1 = € 1.40 |
| 70% loading => € 4.50 | € 1.40 (up to the offered maximum) |
| 50% loading => € 6.30 | € 1.40 (up to the offered maximum) |
Assumptions Case 2:
| Recording of 8 analog channels in parallel | |
| Incl. detection of artefacts | |
| Incl. hardware | |
| Usage 2 shifts / 8 hours per day | |
| 3 years of use | |
| 200 days per year | |
| 1 hour average program duration | |
| 1.5 hours working time per transfer |
| Investment model: | Usage-based model: |
|---|---|
| Total investment: € 45.000 | Total investment: € 11.440 |
| Cost per program hour: | Cost per program hour: |
| Investment / years / shifts / hours / stereo streams * process time | Investment / years / shifts / hours / stereo streams + usage fee |
| => 45000 / 3 / 2 / 8 / 200 / 4 * 1.5 = € 1.80 | => 11440 / 3 / 2 / 8 / 200 / 4 + 1 = € 1.30 |
| 70% loading => € 2.50 | € 1.30 (up to the offered maximum) |
| 50% loading => € 3.50 | € 1.30 (up to the offered maximum) |
