Manta's New "Everything is Included" Pricing Structure
September 1, 2010.
Locating the best training available is complicated enough. Once you have found Manta, we don't want to complicate your choices any more than necessary. That is why we have decided to simplify our ordering process and pricing structure by making as many things as possible a built-in feature rather than an extra-price option.
During the ordering process, you will be asked three questions:
- How many students will be training at the same time? (The price for any Manta license is based on the number of concurrent users.)
- How long do you want your initial license? (You can lock in today's prices by committing to a longer license period.)
- How many printed Student Reference Guides would you like, if any?
Once you have made your initial purchase, you will receive the same great benefits as all Manta customers:
- Any number of students may take any course for which you have a license. Your only restriction is the number that can sign on at the same time.
- Courses are available worldwide, 24/7 via our exclusive MantaNow training system.
- Course updates are available to you immediately at no additional charge. Such updates have allowed Manta customers to refresh their skills with every new IBM release since 2000.
- If a new course is added to a series or combination pack for which you have a license, it is made available to you at no additional charge during your current license term.
- You can manage training using the built-in Student Administration feature of MantaNow. This feature lets you
- Grant course access only to registered students
- Create custom student menus
- Print reports detailing student course usage
- Print reports detailing students’ Competency Exam results
- Check your license status
Whatever license duration you select, you will receive a renewal notice roughly one month before your license expires. The renewal cost for the second year is half of the first year cost. The price for each subsequent year is 25% of the first-year price.
Up-to-date, high quality training at the best price is why Manta customers keep renewing year after year. Customers who started with us when MantaNow was introduced ten years ago have now trained thousands of employees at a fraction of the cost of any other training option.
