Transitioning to TMS Collections will not affect your maintenance fees. You will continue to pay the same maintenance rate as you currently do for EmbARK, unless you purchase additional licenses when you move to TMS Collections.
How much setup and training will we need?
Each institution is different. Depending on the size of the collection and the extent to which you’ve used various features within EmbARK, you may need more or fewer services days for TMS Collections installation, setup, and training.
