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 that use the
system. You are in control of your own accounts and can create them or disable them
when 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 migrate you to
a higher plan within hours and with minimal disruption to your business. See more
information about our hosting plans below.
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
plan any time you need. So if you don't know which plan to use, just start on the
lowest level, and upgrade when needed. We developed our own Amazon Machine Images
with EZ-MES already installed. These Machine Images can be launched within an hour.
We offer the following hosting plans.

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 all 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 is equivalent CPU capacity of a 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
(not possible on the shared 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 we can make sure that your
application 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 for a number of our customers. One condition is that you will give
us remote terminal access for the period needed 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 a perpetual license of $ 20,000
Additional Options
If you want to have control over your own backups, and if you would like to have
an SSL connection, then we offer the following 2 additional features:
FTP Access for Backups
In case you would like to make backups from the daily backup files we make, we can
install FTP Server Software on you server instance, which will give you FTP access
to the Daily Backup files. This FTP service can be restricted to a single IP address
and will also have a user name and password authentication. Set-up and licensing
fees are $400 a year.
Requirements
The system is hosted, so all you need 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 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 almost
any browser)
Discovery Contract
It is possible that it is 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 specific needs. The deliverable for this evaluation will be a document.
First this document will provide you with criteria to judge any vendor, not just
us. Second you will be better equipped to make the decision. And finally 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 document: $ 1,500 (This will be discounted in case
you purchase EZ-MES).
