HOW TO PURCHSE VILBILITY greements and renewals are available from accredited Ulteo partners through the Ulteo Reseller Partner network. In addition to delivering integration, consulting and pre-sales services Ulteo Premium Partners deliver post sales support services for Ulteo software at levels 1 and 2. greements are available direct from Ulteo for customers who wish to provide self-service support at levels 1 and 2. PRICING For detailed pricing please contact your Ulteo Solutions Partner or contact sales@ulteo.com ENTERPRISE DISCOUNT LEVELS Ulteo S and SR prices are based on a simple Enterprise Level (EL) discount structure, each EL above EL1 provides a volume discount based on the order quantity. EL price breaks start at 100 assigned sessions, the following table details the five EL levels: Level User Price Break EL1 1 99 EL2 100 149 EL3 250 499 EL4 500 999 EL5 1000+ Eligibility for volume discounts is determined either by the order quantity on a single purchase order or by prior agreement with Ulteo based on a year one commitment made in writing to Ulteo with a letter of intent. SUBSCRIPTION USGE n Ulteo S is calculated on an assigned session basis. Sessions can be assigned to users or to devices or a combination of both. session assigned to a user permits that user to connect to an Ulteo OVD Premium Edition farm using multiple devices, sessions assigned to devices permits multiple users to share a single device. Subscription example: n organization wants to use OVD Premium Edition to deliver desktops and applications to two different user groups, group one are 20 outbound sales executives with desktop PCs and mobile devices such as laptops and tablets. The second group are 120 call center operatives Ulteo Subscription greement Guide ULTEO SS 2013-7
working across three shifts using 40 workstations. In this scenario the required number of assigned sessions would be 20 user assigned sessions and 40 device assigned sessions requiring a Subscription greement for 60 users. For ease of calculation and deployment, pricing is the same for both users and devices. Ulteo does not require that an organization provide a list of user names or devices only that a Subscription greement is in place for each that make use of Ulteo OVD Premium Edition software. SUBSCRIPTION ORDER UNTITIES Ulteo S are available in increments of 1 (one) with a minimum order quantity of 25. SUBSCRIPTION REORDERS dditions to existing Subscription greements can be made at any time within a subscription period. Orders for additional users are calculated on a pro-rata monthly basis for the unexpired portion of the agreement inclusive of the month in which the order is places. Volume discount levels are applied based upon the reorder quantity unless a prior EL discount level has been agreed by Ulteo in writing. RENEWL TRUE-UPS To minimize administrative overheads and to take advantage of EL discount levels existing S and SR renewal dates can be brought into line. fter the initial subscription term has expired (12 months, 24 months or 36 months) renewal can be made up to the date of an S that has already be renewed, i.e. a term less than 12 months, and is charged on a pro-rata monthly basis for each remaining month or part thereof of the agreement. greements that have coinciding expiry dates can be consolidated and renewed as a single Ulteo SR order taking advantage of a higher EL discount if eligible. RENEWL TERMS There is a 30 day grace period past the renewal date in which a SR purchase will be accepted, however all S benefits lapse until a renewal agreement is purchased. The SR start date will be from the expiry date of the original agreement. n existing agreement is no longer eligible for renewal past the 30th day of expiry and a new Subscription greement must be purchased.
