Pricing

At PIER Software Technologies, we understand our customers are sensitive to the costs of implementing new systems.  Like you, we recognize that deployment of workstation and network software, coupled with significant data collection and migration, can become labor-intensive.

PIER is an exceptionally solid and competitively-priced grant management database, designed to run on your existing computer workstation and network architecture.  PIER software requires minimal start-up costs, as normally no additional equipment is needed.  Similarly, we can incorporate our Silver Network Protection Plan with your license - thus eliminating concerns of additional costs in the event of interrupted client functionality.

We offer fixed prices for both our PIER Standard Data Migration and PIER Network Deployment services.  We will coordinate data collection and migration troubleshooting with your administrative staff, and any network deployment or connectivity issues with your qualified network technicians.

Our rates are based on fair market value for the benefits you will receive from our software and services. We are confident PIER software will exceed your needs and expectations, and that we can get you up and running with it quickly and inexpensively.

PIER pricing assumes licensee will provide qualified network technicians to assist with software deployment on any unique network architecture configurations. Data collection for PIER client (front-end) and database (back-end) migrations are accomplished by licensee’s administrative staff.

"Each time I prepare a Just-in-Time effort report for the National Institutes of Health, I recall what an incredibly time-consuming chore this used to be for me.  It was this burden that led to my conceptualization of PIER.  I am convinced that if you prepare as many as three Just-in-Time submissions per year with PIER, you will have offset its annual license fee with your own time saved.  Perhaps my biggest marketing challenge is to impress potential customers with this fact, although they could not realize it until they deploy PIER."
