CCUweb is licensed based on the number of GroupWise accounts that are
going to be published to your web site. This does not restrict
the total number of calendars you can publish because, from any one
specific GroupWise account, you can have multiplie linked CCUweb
calendars. This is done by using keywords in the subject
line. This means you could create linked calendars for Coffee
County Central High based on different categories: Sports, Fine
Arts, After School Activities, Gym use, etc. If you are
interested in a CCUweb site licence, the 51st account makes you
eligible for unlimited use of CCUweb.
There
are a number of ways to approach CCUweb licensing. The first
option is to license an account for each school, department or logical
entiy. This is the option used by most school districts.
There is one account purchased for each of the schools and one account
for the central administration or each other logical entity (Board
meetings, Alumni meetings, etc.). This provides the greatest
flexibility and independence. This allows a person (or more than
one person) at each school to be independent and have the ability to
manage the content of the calendar items that appear on each
schedule. The vice-principal, or any other staff member, could
also provide proxy rights to the account to allow other staff members
(coaches, teachers, co-ordinators, etc.) to update the calendar for the
events they are responsible for. Having a separate account for
each school also allows you to create multiple sub-calendars using the
keyword strategy as described in the next paragraph.
A second
option is to centralize the CCUweb process by licensing only one
account. You could have only one account that is managed by one
of your IT staff that publishes all of your schools' calendars by using
Subject Line key words to create the different school calendars.
Or, if you wanted to use a central account but allow each school to
manage its own calendar entries, you could still use the central
account strategy but give proxy access to a user at each school so the
school is responsible for updating its calendar information.
Either of these options requires one account be licensed. The
disadvantage is the lack of flexibility and not being able to have sub
calendars for each of the schools.
CCUweb comes with 30
days of software updates and support. It also has an optional
module that automates updating the calendars to your web site
(Auto-Update). Additional pricing and order information is
available by selecting the Educational Pricing link at the following
page: http://www.omni-ts.com/web-calendar/pricing.html
As an example, the price to license CCUweb for five separate GroupWise
accounts, including Auto-update and software maintenance and support to
September 10, 2007, is $1,852.50:
$ 295.00 (1st account)
$ 880.00 (4 x $220.00)
$ 250.00 (Auto-Update - one required)
$ 427.50 (Software updates and support for 13 months - 30% of purchase price)
Please
send the number of accounts you would like to order and I will have
licensing send you a formal quote. I look forward to answering
any other questions you might have about CCUweb or our other products.
