Good day, MP MA Motshekga
Trust you are keeping well with the team.
Yes. COVID-19 has come to test our foundations and has exposed us to know that majority of our South African students has a daily challenge to overcome and it's not just by the snap of a finger then it's gone but through hard work and aiming to achieve the best to get opportunities to change their lives.
My writing to you is the preparation for life after Covid-19 and how we strengthen the foundation across the country and the more beneficial for the scholars in all grades. Our solution is a cost-saving on implementation, maintenance and I can ensure that they saving retained we give the opportunity to school to expand the solution into multiple IT libraries.
Our case study:
A school in Soweto with 1400 scholar's from Grd 8 - 10.
Have an IT lab that takes 18 students at a time. That will require the school will need to implement a pool with 78 groups of 18 students to make use of the IT lab with the challenge of managing that within the 7 weekday's (Mon-Fri). In a case, each group is given an hour that will mean 35 groups will have access to the computer room while others wait for next week. Counting that an hour doesn't even suffice the research or knowledge share with the scholars. So, in this case, it means a school will need to double up the number of computers to cover week hours reserved for the IT lab. Given to the cost estimation below
Traditional setup
Dell desktop i5 * 18 = R149 729.94
LED Screens 19” * 18 = R29 717.64
Dell Keyboard & Mouse * 18 = R6 638.22
Office 2016 student license * 18 = R20 430.00
Antivirus licenses Kaspersky * 18 = R4 842.00
Windows 10 professional license * 18 = R44 046.00
Estimated cost = R255 403.80
So for a new school without an IT lab, you are looking at double the price (R510 807,60)
Below this is an estimate cost structure to from our solution
Teamoss Multiseat Solution
Dell desktop i5 * 3 = R24 954.99
Memory upgrade to 16GB * 3 = R6 931.71
NVidia 810 graphics card (8 DP) * 3 = R39 254.67
2.0 4-Port USB Hub * 18 = R899.00
LED Screens 19” * 18 = R29 717.64
MS Office 2016 student license * 3 = R3 405.00
Antivirus licenses (Kaspersky) * 3 = R 807.00
Windows 10 professional license * 3 = R 7 343.34
Multi-user 6 lifetime licence * 3 = R2 790.75
Macrion Reflect tech licence = R10 751.29
Estimated cost = R 126 855.39
Our solution comes half the price to implement which shows you double to (36 user's for R253 710,78 or 72 users IT lab for R 507 421,56)
I will be happy to show a prototype of the solution and have a virtual discussion if this is something that interests you and your office.
Thank you for taking the time to read my solution proposal.
Many thanks as we prepare for life after Covid-19
