01:05:46Rodo Leone

is there any maintenance cost?

01:06:02Rodo Leone

annual cost?

01:07:04Dan Wrenholt

What is your re-opening timeline and how long would this take to install?

01:07:15John Brey

You talked about having this work directly on the pieces of equipment but in order to do that, the manufacturer would have to have an open API. There are several manufacturers that don't offer that option so how do you plan on working on each piece of equipment?

01:09:47Dan Galvin

what are the IT requirements for sensors and interfaces?

01:10:07Chris Policastro

Hi Dan, our re-opening timeline will begin (essential staff in hopefully beginning of July and members come back mid August). It took several months of organize the implementation

01:10:08John Brey

you talked about asset management for the piece of equipment, that would take an open API.

01:10:47Matt Grimm

just ballpark. how much does each sensor run?

01:10:56marie turchiano

How much money is this?

01:10:57Tom Giles- FIU

Are the text alerts customizable?

01:11:30Doug Curry

Is there an annual fee?

01:11:57Sabina Saksena

yes the tex alerts are configurable to your needs/budiness rules

01:12:09Sabina Saksena

Annual fee for support from year 2

01:12:09Dan Wrenholt

Awesome! Thank you Chris

01:12:53Tom Giles- FIU

Thank you!

01:13:23Doug Curry

Thanks Sabina.. Could you give me a ballpark of what that annual fee is?

01:14:08Stefani Plummer

Thank you for the information. The $25,000 cost is automatic or school-size dependent? what are the additional costs? I think we need a better picture to pitch to those above us.

01:16:04Mike Chadee

I'm assuming the sensor only tells you if the equipment is in use (i.e. somebody is sitting/standing on it) but it doesn't track the actual usage of the equipment (it can't track mileage/hours/etc.) I think that's what John Brey was getting at.

01:22:24Chris Policastro

my email is chris.policastro@duke.edu

01:22:33Kevin George

This seems fantastic but tough to consider when budgets are frozen and each purchase is being micromanaged

01:22:43Kevin George

We are asked to give up possibly some 3rd party platforms

01:23:42Kevin George

Could this be done in conjunction with student unions partnerships to bundle?

01:23:49Kevin George

or Athletics

01:25:51Tom St John

Thanks for the info.
