Enterprise DNA

Instead of InPlace

Stop renting InPlace. Own your placement office.

We build your version around how your placement team works, bring your InPlace students, hosts and placements across, and run it for you. Every coordinator, academic and supervisor can use it without a licence each.

QuantumIT does not publish a price for InPlace. It says InPlace is for universities and higher education providers and supports an enterprise model, and its closest rival, Sonia, is also quote only.

The licence

What the enterprise licence is paying for

From the InPlace pricing page, checked 5 November 2026. QuantumIT quotes each institution privately, so there is no public figure to compare.

domain

An enterprise model

InPlace is sold to universities and higher education providers as an enterprise system across every faculty, not by the placement or the student.

request_quote

A quote, not a price list

You find out the cost by asking. University members of CAUDIT buy through a pricing offer negotiated for the group; everyone else asks for a quote.

swap_horiz

Sonia works the same way

The closest rival, Sonia from Lumivero, lists its price as contact the vendor. Comparing the two means two sales processes.

construction

Configuration by the vendor

Each college sets up its own forms, compliance items and workflows. A change to how your office runs is a change request, not an afternoon.

query_stats

Reports the vendor chose

The questions you can answer are the reports that come with the system. Which hosts went quiet, or who will finish short of hours, waits for a new report.

lock

Your history in their system

Years of placements, hosts, supervisors and outcomes sit in the vendor database. Getting all of it out is an export you run report by report.

Your placement office

The questions your placement coordinator asks, answered from your own records

Ready to start

No student turns up with a check that has run out

Every check each programme needs, with the day it runs out: police check, working with children, vaccinations, TB, flu, CPR, NDIS screening.

  • check Students starting in the next 30 days with a check missing or ending before their last day
  • check A warning the moment you place a student whose check will not last the placement
  • check A compliance record for each student, ready to send to the host
  • check A reminder drafted to each student, one at a time

Places

Every student placed, every offered place used

Rounds show the places hosts offered against the students still waiting, side by side.

  • check Students with no placement next to the open places in the same round
  • check A warning when a site is asked to take more students than it offered
  • check Hosts that offered places last year and none this year
  • check A request for places drafted to each host, with how its past students went

Hours

Know who will finish short before the last round

Signed hours, hours waiting for a supervisor and hours still planned, against the programme minimum: 800 for a registered nurse in Australia, 1,000 in New Zealand.

  • check Final-year students who will not reach the minimum on what is booked
  • check Hours waiting longest for a supervisor to sign, grouped by supervisor
  • check Late final assessments and who they are waiting on
  • check An hours statement for each final-year student, in your brand

Hosts

The agreements and supervision behind every placement

The checks that catch a placement office out when an auditor or a host asks.

  • check Agreements that end before placements already booked under them
  • check Insurance certificates that have lapsed
  • check Placements with no supervisor, or one with no training on record
  • check Incidents not yet reported to the host, always first on the list

Switching

How to switch from InPlace

A move usually involves exporting your reports, mapping your college’s fields and rules, checking the imported records, then running both systems side by side before you switch.

  1. 1

    Export your InPlace reports

    Export the student report and the placement report from InPlace as CSV. These reports are the starting point for bringing across students, courses, host organisations, sites, supervisors and placements, along with completed hours and results. Check that your reports include the records you need. If your InPlace account offers a different export format or limits what you can export, check with InPlace about your options.

  2. 2

    Run a test import

    Use the import process to bring in the exported reports, starting with its test run. The test run saves nothing, so you can see what the import would do before loading records into the new database. Keep the original reports unchanged while you test. The import can be run again without creating duplicate records, which is useful if you need to correct the reports or review the results.

  3. 3

    Review the import results

    Check every row the test run says it would skip, and compare those rows with your InPlace reports. Decide whether the records should be corrected in the reports or left out. Also confirm that students, hosts, sites, supervisors, placements, completed hours and results have come across as expected. Compliance items, agreement dates and programme minimum hours are handled differently between colleges, so plan to set those up for your college.

  4. 4

    Run both systems side by side

    Keep InPlace available for a short period while you use the new database for placement office work. Compare the records and results you need for current placements, and check that your team can find the information it relies on. Use this period to catch missing history or rules that need adjusting. Agree within your team what must be checked before you stop relying on InPlace.

  5. 5

    Switch off InPlace

    When your checks are complete and your team is ready, make the new database the place you use for placement office records and stop using InPlace. Keep any exported reports or records your college needs to retain. The free version is for the placement office. Students and supervisors do not log in to it, so continue handling their evidence and signed hours through your office.

construction

Where the real effort goes

The main work is usually mapping your college’s fields and rules, then deciding how much history to bring across. The standard import brings students, courses, hosts, sites, supervisors, placements, completed hours and results. Compliance items, agreement dates and programme minimum hours need to be set up for your college. If Enterprise DNA installs and runs it for you, Enterprise DNA does this migration work with you.

Questions

Instead of InPlace, answered

Does it replace InPlace completely? expand_more

The free version covers the placement office: students and their checks, hosts and agreements, supervisors, rounds and places, allocation, hours, assessments, site ratings and incidents. Students and supervisors do not log in to it; they send evidence and signed hours to the office. A portal for them is part of the version Enterprise DNA builds.

We place students with hospitals that use their own systems. Does that still work? expand_more

Yes. Hosts keep their own systems. You record what each host requires, the places it offers and the agreement behind it, and the free version writes the compliance record and the schedule you send them. Connecting to a host system is a customisation.

How does our InPlace data come across? expand_more

Students, hosts, sites, supervisors and placements come across from the reports you can export, with hours completed and results, and the import can be run again without doubling anything. Compliance items and agreement dates are held differently in each college, and bringing those across is part of what we do.

Is student data safe in this? expand_more

It sits in a database your college owns, on infrastructure you choose, with the access you set. There is no vendor database in the middle. In the version we run we set up backups and access controls and agree with you which assistant reads the records and how. Health and police check details never leave it.

What do we pay Enterprise DNA? expand_more

One setup fee, then a retainer. There is no licence per user or per faculty. Hosting and the assistant your team uses are separate. Bring your InPlace quote and we will scope your version against it.
