We work with you to develop a
full proposal to meet your requirements

 

Our pricing model is based on a monthly subscription which comprises four key components:

•    User Accounts
•    Server Hard Drive Space
•    MicroSoft Office Licenses
•    Security Enhancements

User Accounts are the number of staff that need access to the hosted server (to use apps and access data).

​

Data storage relates to how much space your Habitat3 server needs to function (eg. Operating System, Database Engines eg) plus your software and data.

​

Microsoft Office licenses are required for each user account that wishes to use MS Office. Even if you currently use Office 365, Microsoft requires us to charge an MS Office license if you wish to use MS Office applications on the hosted server. We are able to downgrade your Office365 licenses to offset this cost if appropriate.

Optional security enhancements include Virtual Private Networks and Two-Factor Authentication.

CPI based price increases of approx 2% are typically implemented in July each year.

 

We will work with you to explore your requirements and understand exactly how using our service can help. Our proposal will outline each pricing component and the quantity required.
