Comparative Costs
Normally, the purchase of a sophisticated computer system like Wrist
would involve a considerable initial outlay and then a percentage-based
monthly support contract. Although this initial outlay can be financed
and spread over a period of time, this obviously affects the cash flow
considerably.
However Trio's Wrist application, with minimal initial costs and a very
reasonable monthly support contract, can prove to be a very effective
solution. Take a look at this cost guide for a typical 5-user system:
