📋 Requirement Details
Req 2.81: All updates, enhancements, version upgrades, and newly released features shall be included for the full subscription term at no additional cost.
⚙️ Technical Demonstration
IMTLazarus completely satisfies this requirement by providing an all-inclusive subscription model that eliminates separate software licensing tiers, version charges, or functional paywalls. All maintenance updates, platform enhancements, version upgrades, and newly engineered feature releases are automatically included for the full duration of the subscription term at absolutely no additional cost to DepEd:
- Automated Version Upgrades & Enhancements: The platform operates on a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) framework. When system enhancements, security patches, or major dashboard version upgrades are released, they are applied directly to the cloud backend and endpoint agents without requiring separate procurement cycles, contract extensions, or software purchases.
- Immediate Access to New Features: DepEd is guaranteed immediate, unrestricted access to any newly developed operational tools, advanced filtering capabilities, or platform expansions introduced by the Supplier during the contract life cycle. New capabilities are integrated natively into existing administrative consoles as standard features.
- Zero-Cost Lifecycle Commitment: The Supplier explicitly guarantees that no auxiliary fees, licensing surcharges, or maintenance penalties will be levied against DepEd to maintain full functional currency. The cost structure remains completely flat and predictable throughout the entire subscription period.
