I did a standalone Wonderware application some 15 years ago and recently the customer has decided to upgrade.
So, last Oct. I got a quote for a new Development Studio 2012R2 for $6225 and a 500 Tag 2012R2 Historian for no extra.
Time dragged on and approval didn't come until after the 1st of 2014. My WW distributor then said there were price increases. His quote was outdated, so he had an "out".
Now, he is proposing a Development Studio 2014 for $6225 (same price as 2012R2) but now he's saying the WW Historian has been split apart and must be purchased separately for $3109. I'm not real sure the Historian is even needed but he says I can't wait and buy it later. If I want it, I have to get it now.
Does what he's telling me sound correct?
Are there other, easily used historical data utilities that I could add to this system later on, if needed? I would prefer to stay with Wonderware....
Thanks, in advance.
