Require pricing statement for registry
To ensure transparency and help agencies make informed purchasing decisions, all partners must submit information about the cost of Ed-Fi certified functionality to be published on the registry. This includes documentation outlining whether or not the partner charges additional fees for certified Ed-Fi functionality. This will help agencies understand what is included in the standard engagement and what may incur additional costs
Reasoning
Informed Decisions: The community has requested more upfront information about which partners charge for Ed-Fi integrations. This transparency will help agencies make better purchasing decisions.
Customization Clarity: By understanding which of their requirements are customizations, agencies can make more informed requests and reduce the need for customizations and extensions.
Clear Availability: Providing clear information about pricing and availability will help agencies discuss their needs with vendors more effectively.
Implementation
Pricing Documentation: Partners must provide a document detailing their pricing structure. This should outline:
General information about whether Ed-Fi functionality covered in certification is included or incurs additional costs.
List of states where additional fees for Ed-Fi certified functionality apply.
