Enterprise License Agreement


Email: Info@Edgetech-US.com

 
By signing the MapSpeller Enterprise License Agreement (ELA), organizations are renting the software for the duration of the contract (typically 3 years). The software expires when the contract ends.

Pricing is based on the total number of ArcMap licenses at the inception of the contract and the MapSpeller Edition selected. Concurrent user licenses of ArcMap count as 2.5 single user licenses.

Thereafter,

  • Governments gain access to unlimited amounts of MapSpeller software
  • Private-sector organizations can increase their original MapSpeller seats by 50% annually without extra charge

It has the following benefits over the Per-Copy Licensing mechanism:

  • Non-discrimination: All ArcGIS Desktop users are offered the same opportunity to create typo-free maps and data
  • Even cash-flow by spreading usage cost over the life of the contract (three years), avoiding initial higher cost of purchasing licenses
  • Flexibility: No need to purchase additional licenses when hiring or as the use of ArcGIS increases
  • Easier and more efficient management as the ELA is a centrally-managed purchasing mechanism
  • Lower unit cost in exchange for enterprise-wide adoption.

All organizations with at least twenty ArcGIS Desktop users are eligible for the Standard ELA. However, small governments, small utilities and educational institutions should also consider the ELA designed specifically for them.

The philosophy and pricing of the Standard ELA is that Edgetech "rents" its MapSpeller software to organizations at about 150% of cost of its annual maintenance per ArcGIS Desktop user at the inception of the contract, provided that all ArcGIS Desktop users/licenses at that time are accounted for. Organizations don't get to pick and choose which ArcGIS Desktop user/license should be counted or not.
