Pricing
 We've spent literally thousands of hours developing IMPACT and believe it to be an excellent application that will return your purchase cost many times over.
What do you need to consider?First, the purchase cost of this application is minor when compared to cost of hardware, system software, and staff training. You will need computer equipment (PC compatible) and system software (e.g. Windows, Microsoft Access, File Maker Pro, custom design, etc.). Be sure to consider the usually underestimated cost of learning the application, converting your data, training your employees/volunteers, and extracting useful information. If an application is described as free, remember that the application cost is but a minor part of the entire cost. If you believe that your time is valuable, and should be spent completing your mission, then we encourage you to analyze the "true" costs of an application before you purchase. Again, you may want to enlist some help. There are many consultants and nonprofit organizations that can assist you with these types of analyses and decisions.
Second, the real value of an application is not in its cost, but in its benefit. You need to have an application that is easy to install, easy to use, user friendly, and easily provides the type of data you need to effectively run your organization and complete your mission. We believe that IMPACT is an excellent answer for you. If you have any questions about the cost of IMPACT, please give us a call.
Purchase and Rate SummaryTo support organizations of varying size, the cost of an IMPACT license is scaled based on the modules you select and the size of your organization's annual budget. The following table details the license cost for the five tiers of annual budgets for each of the available modules. This price also includes four hours of installation services.
The consulting rate for additional installation services or for conversion services is also based on the size of your organization's annual budget and is also listed below.
You may want to read the IMPACT installation contract for additional details and/or the IMPACT conversion contract for conversion estimates.

Note 1: Annual maintenance/upgrade costs are 12% of the scheduled license cost (based on the size of the organization at the time of upgrade), and are due one year after installation and on each anniversary thereafter. This entitles you to all future versions/releases that include fixes, enhancements, and upgrades to the IMPACT application.
Note 2: Phone consulting is based on the consulting rate, rounded up to the next 6 minutes (1/10 of an hour), with a minimum of 12 minutes (2/10 of an hour).
Note 3: Travel time applies only to contracted items (not upgrades), and is charged at 1/2 the listed consulting rate.

A Testimonial from Tom Olbrich
"Stew is always available to help and is just a phone call away. He always answers or returns calls immediately. He helped us perform the conversion to Impact painlessly. We are extremely well supported, not just in the operation of the program as we bought it, but he is also willing to enhance IMPACT to meet our needs. He is respectful of questions, concerns and then adapts his own creation to further our efforts. He has been a gift to the Ashland Independent Film Festival."
