Subject: Commercial list price vs GSA price Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2004 08:55:29 -0700 From: Jon Venverloh Jgoogle.com> To: Tian s for your time this morning. As we discussed, you may purchase under the commercial list l e the either from Goog hadtomer price, or off the A schedule. Given the reginests from the and star g determine t a the commercial list price would enable Google to offer the customer the best service and value, despite the slightly higher commercial list price. There are two main benefits we're delivering under the commercial list price that are not available under the GSA price: 1. 90 "Incidents" instead of 25. Under the GSA price, 25 support had "Incidents" are included. than t even included funding to procure additional ones, but additio support Incidents for -DIS Appliances r.,-_.a7 es hourlfoat hour only an hour (the Support Pack of 25 Incidents for u liance to provide support, in which we can remotely access t e o p in which we may have support; this is not applicable for -DIS supp Uwic the to conduct onsite visits to resolve an Incident) Commercial list price, we agreed to provide 90 incidents. This alone easily justifies the small price premium. 2. Negotiated terms. The customer asked for special terms related to support and other legal issues. For instance, we are providing support for 4 customer contacts instead of 2; we agreed to 30 days for destruction of failed or outdated hardware instead of 10, and so on. Additionally, many legal terms were negotiated. Under the GSA, we don't make any such changes. As I also pointed out today, Google will honor the GSA price if you'd prefer to have the standard terms afforded under GSA purchases. However, we sincerely believe the customer is getting a much better value under the slightly higher commercial price.
