TheIET website currently claims "Discounted software for members". And many years ago, that was true. For example, one could purchase Microsoft Project for £99+VAT when the standard price is £400 (and similar discounts were also available for other packages particularly suited for engineering projects, such as Visio).
However, now the only Microsoft products available are standard office packages, and the discounts are... well, see below. Microsoft office professional: Currys price: £ 235 incl. VAT Citnexus "discounted" price for IET members: £280 incl. VAT So either the IET is unable to negotiate any discount with Microsoft or Citnexus is taking a very large cut. Is the IET intending to negotiate better rates with Microsoft or should it remove these from its website? Separately, if anyone is thinking of purchasing from Citnexus, I recommend they shop around first! |

I note CitNexus has now become Expressware and no longer appears to offer software discounts for IET members.
I have bought TurboCad and Microsoft Office in the past and this hes been a useful benefit for IET members. Is the IET planning to replace the scheme with an alternative? |
