Purchase Models

We offer a flexible pricing approach to best fit the model you require

BCL's standard pricing model is based on interchangeable named users that can be purchased on a Monthly (all-inclusive) or Perpetual basis. The array of pricing models proposed by competing extranet vendors can often lead to confusion during the decision making process. By offering both, we allow for a ‘like for like’ comparison, and a choice of model that best suits the project (see box on right).


Monthly Rental
'project extranet' all inclusive monthly project fee.
Perpetual Licence
'enterprise collaboration' one off payment for unlimited projects

The Monthly model removes the need for any significant investment at project start-up. The purchase can be a flat monthly fee or can vary based on the level of activity at each project stage.

Customers that wish to extend their usage of BC beyond a single project can easily convert to the Perpetual model. It is our belief that the Perpetual model offers the best value.

Model benefits

The Monthly model is ideally suited to projects where:

  • the duration may be unclear
  • the project wishes to trial the use of the system on a short term basis
  • cashflow is an issue
  • the project wishes to pass a Service fee on to the Client on a monthly basis, or;
  • the project is less than four years in duration.

The Perpetual model is ideally suited to Customers:

  • whose users work on multiple projects
  • where the duration of a project goes beyond a four year period
  • where a Customer wishes to make a CAPEX purchase and own the licence outright
  • they wish to commit long term and realise the associated savings
  • who prefer to host their own Server, or;
  • who may wish to pass a Service fee onto the Client.
