SNAPPS (Strategic Net Applications, Inc.), the official Design Partner for IBM Lotus Quickr and author of 11 value-added free templates for Quickr, announced today the immediate availability of fully supported subscription versions of the template applications for as little as $1 per user, in addition to new support options for the free versions. Support for the free versions has been available in public forums on an as-available basis for six months, and that level of support will continue at no charge. For those requiring more assistance with setup, customization, or diagnosing issues, SNAPPS now offers support incident packs for the free versions for $199 (one incident) or $499 (three incidents). For companies deploying the SNAPPS Quickr Templates in production at an enterprise level, SNAPPS now offers subscription versions of the templates for as little as $1 per user.
A subscription entitles the subscribing company to benefits usually associated with fully paid licenses - for a fraction of the price - including:
-
Unlimited technical support, a helpdesk and escalation system
-
A new blog, wiki and documentation site combined with the template website
-
Guaranteed first release with new features, and a feature request mechanism
-
Guaranteed compatibility with new IBM Lotus Quickr versions within 30 days of their release
Subscription pricing is between $1 and $2 per user, per application, per year depending on the number of subscription units purchased. Custom subscription options are available for modified or combined templates, and QSite is priced at 2x the normal subscription price (QSite includes 10 applications in one).
"We've been thrilled with the excellent feedback from Quickr users who are deploying the templates we wrote for the Quickr 8 launch last June", explained Rob Novak, President of SNAPPS. "with almost 2,000 registrants downloading 30,000 application and source code kits, there are many companies deploying these applications into production who need enterprise-grade support options. We want them - the customers and the templates - around as long as possible, and the subscription model will allow us to continually improve and support these applications."
A quotation system will be deployed to the template website in early February. In the meantime, to receive a quote for subscription units, please contact SNAPPS
. Include the number of licensed Quickr users and a list of the templates for subscription.
