Hi Koha people
What are the average costs of a Koha install? There's plenty of
discussion about buying library systems around the traps here, and I
realised that there's no real 'throwaway' numbers out there to allow
people to make a comparison with slickly-marketed paid systems...
So, if anyone is happy to do so, would it be possible to grab a few
rough numbers for things like initial installation and setup, and any
ongoing maintenance?
Along with the numbers, any relevant data that affects the cost would
be useful - ie number of sites, number of records to be transferred,
time it took to move from system X to koha...
The whole aim is to be able to say 'well, for your average school
library, it might cost something like $xxxx if you need an external
contractor to install and configure things..' - before having to go
through the quoting process. A couple of ballpark figures might be
handy..
If people see a useful purpose for such data, I'll compile a set of
average numbers and send it back for the FAQ...
Cheers - and thanks!
Adam.
