Virtel Web Suite pricing:
based on your users, not your mainframe capacity

What your subscription includes

For each licensed module, your annual subscription includes:

• the right to use the software on your systems;
• support from our team;
• maintenance, including fixes;
• new releases as they become available, at no extra cost.

How pricing works

Your price is made up of three components:

1. The core module, Virtel Web Access, priced per user.
2. Add-on modules, priced according to the scope of your project.
3. One-time services, if your project needs them.

1. Core module: Virtel Web Access

Virtel Web Access replaces your 3270 emulators with browser-based access. It is the foundation of Virtel Web Suite.

The subscription is based on your total number of named users, not concurrent sessions. As a starting point, we typically use your existing TN3270 licensed seats or your RACF users. Volume pricing applies, so the price per user decreases as your number of users grows.

2. Add-on modules

These modules are added to Virtel Web Access as your needs require. Their pricing is based on the scope of your project, not on user count:

3. One-time services, as needed

Some project steps may be billed once, on top of the subscription:

• setup and go-live assistance;
• architecture design;
• training for your teams;
• screen modernization by our experts.

These services are itemized in your quote, so you know the total cost up front.

What never affects your price

• Mainframe capacity: the number of CPUs, MSUs or LPARs.
• Number of Virtel instances: run several for high availability or load balancing at no extra cost.
• Disaster recovery: use on a backup mainframe or during DR testing is included.
• Initial license fee: there is none.
