The plans
What Vernon CMS charges
Vernon CMS does not have a verified public dollar price, so you will need a quote for your configuration. Your bill is built around user licences, modules and an annual support agreement that is required for the first year and optional after that.
Modular system
Quoted privately
Vernon combines cataloguing with user licences and optional modules, with an annual Support and Upgrade Agreement.
How the bill is built
Cataloguing and modules
The Cataloguing module holds object records and related collection information. Activities adds detailed collection processes, while Vernon Browser is a separate public-access module. Your quote depends on the parts of the system your museum needs.
User licences
Vernon offers a choice of user licence counts. Check the licence count in your quote or contract when comparing costs, as the price is not publicly verified.
Additional capabilities
External Tracking System supports RFID location control, and Web Messenger supports live integration. These are among the capabilities to check in your configuration and quote, alongside the modules your museum uses.
Annual support agreement
Vernon documents an annual Support and Upgrade Agreement. It is required for the first year and optional after that, so include it when you compare the first-year cost and later renewal costs.
A year of Vernon CMS
Your annual Vernon cost
Vernon pricing is quoted privately, so there is no verified annual figure to calculate here. Ask for a quote covering your user licence count, the modules you need and the annual Support and Upgrade Agreement. That agreement is required for the first year and optional after it, so check both the first-year and later-year costs.
Underneath the bill
What you are really paying for
The catalogue foundation
The Cataloguing module holds object records and related collection information. The free base starts with the registrar’s object catalogue. Check which catalogue functions are included in your Vernon configuration and what is covered by the quote.
Extra modules and access
Activities adds detailed collection processes, and Vernon Browser provides public access as a separate module. External Tracking System and Web Messenger support additional tracking and integration needs. Check which of these capabilities your museum actually uses.
Users and ongoing support
Your Vernon bill can include a chosen number of user licences and an annual Support and Upgrade Agreement. The agreement is required in the first year and optional later. Compare the licence count and support terms in your own quote.
