Innovativ Consulting Partners, a leading open source consultant and service provider for online solutions, has announced new trial alternatives for institutions interested in evaluating Kuali Rice, yet do not have the technological infrastructure to initially install it.
Innovativ is offering two alternatives to the institution:
1. A fully-functional virtual image of Kuali Rice 1.0.1 which can be downloaded and installed at the institution – with no need for install/configuration;
2. A cloud-based environment of a fully-functional configuration of Kuali Rice 1.0.1
“We would like to encourage more institutions to investigate and evaluate Kuali Rice with minimal obstacles. These alternatives provide the institution that would like to evaluate Kuali Rice without re-deploying or making a hardware investment. – Tony DiSanza – Managing Director, Innovativ Consulting Partners
