I am excited to announce that effective August 1st,
2009, the IPRO Nimbus environment will be utilizing a modified metric for
storage pricing when using the IPRO eCapture product for EDD processing.
Previously our storage metric was based on all files
uploaded/created within the environment.
This included a large amount of data created by the EDD process that eCapture
produces during discovery, such as the unfolding of email archives to a discovery
directory, search indexes for complex filtering techniques, and the temporary
image and text files created for a thorough QC process prior to exporting a
final deliverable.
Though all of these items are extremely valuable and make
eCapture a strong EDD processing product for any type of EDD project, when
using the product on the IPRO Nimbus hosted environment these outputs made the
storage costs a greater factor than ever anticipated.
Our new metric will eliminate charging upon any of the files
created during these processes, or also referred to as ‘working directories’.
As the hosted environment still provides great benefit as far as a stable
infrastructure that can be used on the fly with no upfront costs, storage will
still be a part of our pricing model, but by only totaling files uploaded by
you and exported by you, the unknown factor is eliminated and control over
those costs is truly in the hands of you, the user.
Our analysis of the change from past usage has shown that
the change will save users on average over 50% in storage costs from our
original metric. If you are interested in more information about using the IPRO
Nimbus environment for EDD processing, please contact your IPRO Sales
