plates yeah. but they were just trying to stick it to fuji at that point.

no the 8k from fuji is obviously per year. and the $642 per month from kodak is $7700 per year. that is why i was saying they are cheaper. as far as the options go. we dont have the RBA. which adds  $200 more per month.

I am paying $642 a month for the full support contract with upgrades with kodak and Fuji's XMF was $4500 for XMF and $3500 for XMF Remote. Kodak is cheaper. I think i may be the first person to say that.

thanks i will look into that.

yeah it looks like the features can really add up. i dont really have a need for the rba just yet and that adds quite a bit by itself. he did mention the archive ad on but made it sound like all it added was your notes to the archive. the software still packages and archives the entire job just without the correspondence data i guess.

does it feel like preps is integrated into this software like xmf's is. or somewhat close to it? or does it launch another application. it was kinda tough to tell in the webex and i have never used the earlier versions of prinergy so im not sure how the new system compares.

Click here.

yeah really. sounds like they changed there model and never let you know. why would they..

oh and how do i get an avatar? is that only for the ELITE?

OK.. so i just got off the phone with Kodak and this is the story. This past year they did away with the prinergy evo/connect and now it is just connect with or without rba. the difference between evo and connect was the oracal databasing but now everyone gets that and the only difference being the rba. as for the service and support the quote he has given me includes all upgrades of prinergy/insight/preps. including versions. yes i know it is hard to believe but i do have this in writing. the only difference between the plus and advanced service and support is the hardware coverage for the computers. he said they dont typically quote the advanced anymore because you can get the same exact coverage on the hardware through dell for half the price. they will only be taking a support contract with dell in our name and placing the call for us when there is a problem. does this sound legit? i hope so.

The inside salesman from kodak made it sound like they did away with evo and connect and now they just have the one version of prinergy with or without databasing.  and he also told me that my support included all version upgrades. told me that the next version of insite was due out q2 of 2015 that takes the software to 100% html5 and that i would get that upgrade. so i will have to check back with him tomorrow to see what is going on.

is my $7500 quote for service less than yours because i am only getting the entry version without the databasing and a floating license for preps? Because $7500 i can handle. $23k i cant.
