This is a key question as it goes to the heart of the vision we have at OpenVPMS.

OpenVPMS will deliver four key products via its open source subscription model. They will form a fully functional veterinary management software package for your business;

• The OpenVPMS (Veterinary Practice Management Software) Business Framework
• The OpenVPMS Web Application
• The OpenVPMS Reporting Interface
• The OpenVPMS Data Migration Tools

We see the subscription charges being capped at a defined level with no more than CPI increase in any one year. Indeed if our long-term vision is realised it is likely that there will be LOWER subscription fees in the future.

Although there are many technical mechanisms we could use to manage and force users to subscribe to OpenVPMS in the end it must come down to trust in the integrity of Veterinary Practices and their owners. We believe the value of what subscribers receive from their subscription will by far outweigh the subscription cost, encouraging participation.

Subscriptions fees are based on the number of full-time equivalent vets working at the given practice and are paid annually.
