Hello
If PDF attachments get through LLTI, this will help you. We just renewed with BYU’s licensee Perpetual Technology. I haven’t seen any change in the service and the BYU links are forwarding to Perpetual seamlessly.
Here is a paste in if the PDF gets lost.

Hello & Welcome from Perpetual Technology Group (PTG)
We are excited for this opportunity to serve you in your educational success using webCAPE. We hope the
transfer to our services is smooth and successful for you. Please take a minute to review the following detailed
information regarding the upcoming transfer to Perpetual Technology Group.
Added Benefits to You
Transferring the webCAPE services to a business can be very beneficial to customers. Please preview the
following benefits:
1. Additional Service Resources - PTG will have full time staff dedicated to support and service your
needs by phone, email, fax, and twitter if needed.
2. Additional Technology -PTG will be expanding the servers and redundancy of webCAPE to increase its
availability. We will also be dedicating resources to add some of the most highly requested features
and languages.
3. FREE Additional Languages - Under PTGs billing model, all institutions having previously purchased as
least (1) CAPE language can request access to additional foreign languages for free, including: Spanish,
French, German, Russian and Chinese.
4. Training & Deployment - PTG offers unlimited web‐based training and deployment services. We want
you to be successful when using webCAPE to enhance your student’s experience. We’re committed to
your success.
5. Access to a Greater Network - With PTG and BYU customers coming under one roof, we’ll provide a
platform to increase communication among our users. Get insights from current customer’s successes
and failures. Perhaps, we can even build a community of additional language development.
6. Greater Funding for R&D - The increase in costs will result in more funds & less cost to BYU, resulting
in greater focus on what they do best - developing new languages.
Change in Pricing
Perpetual Technology Group has been servicing over 200 webCAPE customers since 2006. Our pricing since our
start has never gone up. Although we cannot guarantee prices will not change, we stand by our commitment
to make this service affordable. To minimize the impact of the changes, Perpetual Technology Group is offering
the following pricing options:

2. You will receive a bill on your scheduled renewal date. The bill will be for $75/language for this year,
and will show on it what your costs will be next year based on historical usage. By paying the bill you
will be agreeing to the changes in webCAPE costs.
For those wishing to discontinue the webCAPE service:
We would be very sad to see you go. Please let us know if there is anything we can do, or any recommendation
we can provide.
1. When your $75/language bill arrives in the next 1 to 12 months (depending on your renewal month)
simply let us know you will no longer continue using webCAPE and leave the bill unpaid.
