EZ-MES: Manufacturing Execution System

EZ-MES Pricing

The following table shows the price of EZ-MES for different configurations

Configuration Option EZ-MES Service Contract Hosting
Single Purchase $30,000 $5,250 / year $2,250 / year
Lease term of 1 year $18,000 included *included
Lease term of 1 month $1,875 included *included

* 'EZ-MES Basic' Hosting Plan.

A couple of things to note:

  • Unlimited number of users

    The pricing of EZ-MES is NOT based on the number of users that will use the system. We charge a fixed price independent of the number of users. You are in control of your own accounts and can create or disable them as needed.

  • Service contract

    The service contract includes the following:

    • 20 Hours of free support a year
    • Free updates
  • Complete scalable solution for hosting

    The hosting plan in this table is our shared basic plan. If you grow out of this basic plan and need more computing resources, no problem, we can upgrade you to a higher plan within hours and with minimal disruption to your business operations. See below for more information about our hosting plans.

Option 1: We do the hosting for you

For our customers we host our applications on Amazon Web Services. This offers great scalability and flexibility to change your plan at any time you requre. So if you don't know which plan to use, just start on the lowest level, and upgrade as needed. We have developed our own Amazon Machine Images with EZ-MES pre-installed. These Machine Images can be launched within an hour.

We offer the following hosting plans.

Hosting plan Price / day shared Price / day dedicated * Server Memory Compute Units
EZ-MES Basic $7.50 / day $18.75 /day 1.7 Gb 1 X 1 EC2
EZ-MES High CPU $15 / day $37.50 /day 1.7 Gb 2 X 2.5 EC2
EZ-MES Large $22.50 / day $56.25 /day 7.5 Gb 2 X 2 EC2
EZ-MES Extra Large $45 / day $112.50 /day 15 Gb 4 X 2 EC2

Additional hosting plan information:

  • For the shared hosting plan you are sharing the server with up to 3 other customers. For the dedicated plan the server is 100% yours
  • Storage, for all plans up to 10GB of Online Storage is included (0.20$ a GB-month when you go over 10GB)
  • For all plans up to 10GB Data Transfer a Month Included (0.20$ a GB when you go over 10GB)
  • Amazon Compute Unit = 1 EC2 Compute Unit and is equivalent to a CPU capacity of 1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor
  • * One of the big advantages to run a dedicated server is that you have control over the firewall so you can lock down the server access to a specific list of IP addresses (this is not possible on the shared server plans).

Security

Amazon has extensive security measures in place to protect your data. To learn about the measures check out the 'Overview of Security Processes' brochure of Amazon.

Using the Amazon Firewall Features we can lock down the system by only allowing specific IP addresses to access the system. Using this security feature we can make sure that all your applications are protected and can only be accessed by you.

Option 2: To have EZ-MES on your own internal server

It is no problem for us to install the application on your own internal server, as we have done this for numerous customers. One condition is that you must give us remote terminal access for the period required to install and update the application. Learn about the Server Specification and required software lisences to run EZ-MES.

We do not offer a lease option when the software is installed on your own internal server. In that case you have to purchase the perpetual license for $30,000.

Additional Options

If you want to have control over your own backups, and would like to have an SSL connection, then we offer the following 2 additional features:

FTP Access for Backups

In the case where you would like to create backups from the daily backup files we generate, we can install FTP Server Software on you server instance, this will give you FTP access to the Daily Backup files. This FTP service can be restricted to just a single IP address and will have user name and password authentication. Set-up and licensing fees are $400 a year for FTP Access.

Requirements

The system is hosted, so all you will require are computers that have an Internet connection. EZ-MES works exactly the same on Microsoft Windows, Apple Macs and Linux PC's and supports all web browsers:

  • Internet Explorer 6.0 and up
  • FireFox 2.0 and up
  • Google Chrome
  • Safari
  • Opera

No plug in, downloads or special fonts are required. It will run without problems on the browser as long as JavaScript is enabled (which now is the case for most browsers)

Discovery Contract

It can be hard to make a decision on which product to purchase. We can help you to make this decision by evaluating your specific situation and your own unique requirements. The deliverable for this will be an evaluation document.

  • This document will provide you with the criteria to judge not just us but any vendor
  • You will be better equipped to make a decision
  • If you decide to purchase our product, the paid fee for the Discovery Contract will be discounted form your purchase price

We hate to break it to you, but we don't like to do a lot of work for free, so the price we charge for this evaluation document is $2,500 (This will be discounted in the case where you purchase EZ-MES).
