Remote Pricing Implementation

Pricing settings

Description of Professional Services

A CollegeNET consultant provides consulting (via videoconferencing) regarding the implementation of 25Live Pricing and works with the institution to collect rate sheets for campus location rentals and resource charges.  Those rate sheets are then used to generate a spreadsheet of proposed formulas for those objects and the consultant builds those formulas.

In preparation for the remote service, the consultant will review the customer's locations, resources, organization types, and event types and may suggest changes that are in line with best practices for implementation.

Content covered includes the following:

  • Organization Types for Pricing Implementation
    • Reviewing Existing Organization Types
    • Revising Organization Types as Needed for 25Live Pricing Implementation
