Schott Systeme
in 11th Year With No CAD/CAM Price Increase
|
|
Maintaining a policy of not increasing the cost of their CAD/CAM software ‘Pictures by PC’, German software developer Schott Systeme have recently announced both a price freeze for the 11th year running, in addition to continuing not to charge for yearly maintenance and support. Somewhat unique within the CAD/CAM software world, Schott Systeme cite this as being a key driver in helping their customers keep costs low and companies competitive.
|
|
With the majority of CAD/CAM systems typically having a yearly maintenance/support cost of somewhere between 15%-25% of the original software purchase price, this presents quite a considerable saving for Schott Systeme customers. The company is also keen to point out that all machine post processors (3 axis and 3+2 axis) come free of charge, in addition to a range of elearning projects so customers can learn the software themselves.
