Licence types I can understand, clear pricing structure and negotiated deals with the HE community in mind.
Helen Rhodes, School of Management Librarian University of Bath
They offer good value for money and are often easy to opt into
Jo Taylor, Contracts & Purchasing Officer University of Surrey
Preferential pricing for education is always guaranteed
Aidan McGrath, IT Manager Waterford Institute of Technology
Easy to use, widely understood
Kirk Bellerby, Snow Software
It's convenient for us, Chest creates these ready-made licence agreements that are simple and easy to sign up to. Eliminates the time and resources needed for HE institutions to negotiate individually with software vendors. Good customer service, always provide good timely responses and always listen to feedback from everyone.
Chris Morrison, Copyright, Software Licensing and IS Policy Manager University of Kent
Far more beneficial to us as an institution that a lot of the leg-work (in terms of procurement rule compliancy, pricing & contract negotiation & fairness) has already been done on our behalf. Especially helpful when not every member institution has the appropriate staffing to take on these challenges
Cameron Douglas, Software Licencing & Compliance Officer University of Huddersfield
I have found the agreements to be useful in getting clear details of both the offering; and the price structure; whilst offering prices that may be more favourable than those that could be negotiated by individual institutions
