3M Launches Subscription Program for RFID and Self-service

摘要

The Library Systems Products of 3M recently announced that it would begin offering a new pricing option based on fixed subscription fees for libraries interested in implementing its products. The model resembles a software-as-a-service model that allows a library to trade the large up-front costs for their automation system for a fixed annual fee. The subscription model may appeal to libraries with budget situations that are more able to accommodate a monthly or annual fee rather than a large capital expense to purchase equipment with ongoing maintenance fees at a lower price point.
