DVC - A much smarter investment

for your school or university.

teacher_with_player DVC is a system your school can purchase and own, it is not a rental system and therefore does not involve ongoing fees. With this ‘ownership' based system your school can pay off DVC entirely within a defined time frame. This is important as it can greatly reduce the total cost of the system over the medium to long term.

With DVC, your school is gradually adding value to an asset it will own outright. With the comparable rental system, you are making ongoing payments with no end date, and actual ownership of the entire system (software and hardware) is never achieved.

At Command Integration we believe DVC and its ownership model presents a much smarter investment decision for your school, hence DVC slogan "The Educated Decision".

Please see the below example chart prepared for a ‘make believe' school that has 900 students. The pink line represents DVC (ownership model), and the blue line represents a comparable rental system. Note that in this example, over a 10 year period the rental system repayments add up to about $56,490 - more than double the cost of the ownership system (DVC) - $27,165.
