In fact, before answering this question, as an interested user, you may wish to change your mind: instead of buying and obtaining the source code of the open source online school system, why not choose a simpler way, that is, "renting"?
Whether you set up your own technical team to develop the source code of the open source online school system, or buy directly, you will face high costs, software, hardware facility costs, follow-up personnel maintenance costs, and long R&D cycles. This situation is not suitable for small and medium enterprises Early start-up.
However, if you directly find a software service provider to rent the online school system developed by them, the cost is relatively low. The cost is annual or quarterly, and the price is about tens of thousands to 10,000 yuan. Users only need to provide a domain name and they can use it directly, build a dedicated and independent online school system, open an account and use it, and there is no additional cost for later technical support and maintenance.
We call this comprehensive service the online education saas service, that is, renting the system composed of the source code of the open source online school system to users. The operation and maintenance of the system and technical support do not need users to worry about, and software developers are all responsible.
So how do users get this kind of service?
1. Find a service provider with a good reputation. If you want to choose this rental model, users need to find a developer with a good reputation and providing quality products and services.
2. Determine whether to meet functional requirements. After finding the developer, users need to determine whether the functions of the saas-based online school system they provide meet their own needs.
3. Conduct an online trial. At present, most saas-based online school systems provide free trial opportunities, and users can decide whether to rent the system after trial.
4. Check and accept paid purchases. After the user has completed the trial, if they are satisfied with the product, they can purchase members on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis to use the product.
The above is how to quickly "obtain" the source code of the open source online school system, and changing from buying to renting is a more practical method.
