WinLims Rental Enables LIMS to Run ‘Free’

The innovative WinLims Rental solution from Quality Systems International (QSI) allows organisations, which are making profits and paying corporation tax, to benefit by reducing their tax burden by
the year’s WinLims rental fees. This means that WinLims effectively costs nothing and is essentially ‘free’.

WinLims Rental has been specifically developed to enable organisations to save spending significant capital when investing in WinLims, one of the top three global commercial LIMS solutions.

The typical cost of purchasing a three concurrent user commercial LIMS is between £15,000 and £25,000. However, with WinLims Rental an organisation only needs to pay £265 per month, plus a one-off cost of
£549 for the scheme setup fee and a copy of Crystal Reports Professional.

As part of the WinLims Rental scheme initial support is included within the monthly fee for five support incidences which, when used, can be replaced for a one-off fee of £200. Experience shows that clients may use up to ten incidences during the setup period, with only an occasional request thereafter. An annual support contract for a three-user system would typically cost from £1500 to £2000, so further savings can be made by only buying support incidences when required.

A key financial benefit of WinLims Rental is that the concept involves minimal upfront costs. The small monthly rental payments help to conserve an organisation’s working capital, which can then be used for other requirements.

WinLims version upgrades are also included within the monthly rental fee, which greatly reduces the ongoing costs for a business.

The WinLims Rental scheme also offers organisations a great degree of business flexibility because they not need to commit to rent for any fixed period and if, after any period of time, they wish to stop using the product, then all they need to do is cease the monthly fee payments.
