360 feedback and appraisal - Cost comparison
We have had quite a few e-mails asking us how we keep our costs below the other providers in the market place.
The simple answer - because we keep our designs simple, our overheads low and everything is done in-house.
A small sample from those that declare a price (most seem to be more secretive).
Just as a reminder here are our charges:
reactive360:
Each Report = £30.00
Administration = No Charge
Group Summary = Max £30.00
factors360:
Subscription = £10.00 per month (on an annual subscription) - Unlimited volume
No other charges
Lumus:
Each Report = £90
Administrative set up charge = £100
Group Summary Report = £150
Talent Innovations:
360 feedback report for 5 people, each with 5-20 reviewers, with full project management support: £900
Appraisal360:
Prices start from just £63 (when you do more than 51 appraisals)
Click360:
£75 per client head

factors360 Feedback Toolkit - Up-date
Up-date on the launch:
17 new accounts - Amazing start.
Having the two versions of the system as a proposition seems to be working well.
reactive360: The Full (Corporate) version for the high volume user who wants to create their own custom questionnaires.
factors360: The latest (Enterprise) version for the companies who want to 'Brand' the process but still keep things fairly simple.

Launch day ..... www.factors360.com
At some point today - we will be hitting the go button (the one marked 'click here to prevent sleep') on the new system. factors360. As far as we know it will be the first subscription 360 feedback and appraisal site on the web.
It's for certain that it is the lowest cost.
The subscription cost:
- £20.00 per single month.
- £18.00 per month (when 3 months are purchased).
- £15.00 per month (for 6 months).
- 12 months access works out at .... £10.00 per month.
The lowest cost system we have found is £30.00 and that is per report - !!!!!!
For £10.00 per month with no single report cost - just access time - any budding mathematicians out there will be able to calculate that the report cost is now genuinely volume based...
I will post regular updates on how things progress....
Final thought for this entry -
This launch should amuse the competition..... (Or is that bemuse).....

Additional System Functionality
Two new components to the system:
- Nomination process
- Dual score rating scale
The Nomination Process acts as an interface to the reactive system and allows high volume clients to collect nominations via a fully branded web-site. The nominations can then be imported directly in to the reactive account. Great feedback so far on this - it saves a considerable amount of time.
The Dual Score scale is being designed in response to a customer request. The participants add a score based on where the person is now and then have the option of adding a where should they be score.
The process allows the capability of the person to be placed within the context of their actual experience in the role.
An interesting - as yet experimental - extension of the Dual Score concept is that it facilitates the creation of a Benchmark score for a role within the organisation.
Watch this space for more information.

Latest Press Release:
Click the link to see our latest release:
quick360 Free to Use feedback system from reactive360.
Launched in May 2007, reactive360. is an on-line 360 degree feedback system that mirrors the design philosophy the fully managed process created by icskills.com.
The first challenge for the new venture was to create and launch a process into the on-line market with bespoke capability in a simple framework, without the cost.
Icskills is the preferred supplier of 360 degree feedback to several UK companies including:
Sainsbury’s Supermarkets.
Bradford and Bingley.
BG Group.
Skipton Building Society.
Capturing the learning from working with these key customers where to date icskills has delivered in excess of 22 thousand feedback reports suggested that critical to success would be:
• Branding the process with company logos.
• Custom building questionnaires.
• Multiple choice of scoring scales.
• A professional, text rich report with easy to understand charts.
• Custom editing of the report.
• Simple administration with an easy to use interface.
• Quick chasing of missing questionnaires.
• A price lower than (GBP) £40.00 for each complete report.
• No limit on the number of raters included in each report.
• Live help, telephone support and a 24 hour response to any query.
The new process, reactive360, has generated interest from across the globe, the most southerly user account is held by Coca Cola in New Zealand, the most northerly, Pratt and Whitney in Canada. Since the launch reactive360 has developed a client base of over 600 companies including:
IFS Defence.
UHS Inc.
Interbay.
BP Pensions.
A fundamental part of the system is that each of the new clients has the ability to offer suggestions of additional features and design improvements. As a result of the feedback and thanks largely to the clients reactive360 continues to evolve, the latest features under development include:
• Auto-fill contact information.
• Bulk import .
• Comparison data across groups of people.
Feedback suggested that although the level of custom flexibility suited the larger corporate clients, small volume users are still looking for a process that delivers a simpler to use process.
To meet this demand and as a second major challenge quick360 has been developed and launched.
Designed to run on the reactive360 platform and allow clients to up-grade when more flexibility is required, quick360 and become a test-bed for new technologies quick360 has an additional and unique selling point, it is the only Free to use 360 feedback system.
