Enterprise Multi-Database Edition FAQ

Q: What’s included in the Enterprise Multi-Database Edition?
A: The AICE Enterprise Multi-Database Edition contains the following AICE-related products:
- AICE® Millennium Version 4.5 software
- One year Annual Maintenance and Service Agreement (AMSA) for all facilities. Each year thereafter, the Central Office will be billed for the AMSA renewal.
- These optional products, if selected, must be purchased by all facilities in the group.

• AICE Basic Download Solution
• QTrendz® (control chart software for healthcare)

- Web-based training classes are available for purchase by one or more facilities. Pricing is per Internet connection:

• Download
• Data Entry
• Line Lists, Frequencies
• Rates, NHSN Comparisons
• QTrendz®

Q: Under what circumstances would our group want the Enterprise Multi-Database Edition? A. This edition is for multiple facilities that want to centralize IT management of AICE on a wide-area network AND
- ICPs want to maintain separate databases
- Central Office does not want to analyze data across facilities

Q: Will all facilities in the group have to use the exact same database (or setup) if we use Enterprise Multi-Database Edition?
A: No. Each facility designs its own databases and collects its own data.

Q: Some of our facilities are already using AICE. What will happen to their existing data if they want the Enterprise Multi-Database Edition?
A: AICE version 4.5 will convert all AICE databases from version 2.5 or greater.

Q: Some or all of our facilities already have AICE. Why would we want to upgrade to the Enterprise Multi-Database Edition? What will it cost to upgrade?
A: Upgrade to the Enterprise Multi-Database Edition adds the convenience of managing AICE for multiple facilities from a central IT location, while ICPs continue to design and control individual databases at their individual facilities. This Edition allows a single server to run AICE for multiple facilities, potentially lowering IT costs. This Edition also simplifies the management of AMSA payments, which are made from a single location. If a group chooses this Edition, a custom quote is prepared so that you pay only for the new components needed to standardize all facilities (for example, AICE Basic Download Solution or QTrendz), one-time platform upgrade fee for version 4, plus customized Implementation Service fees for your particular needs.

Q: What are the hardware requirements for the Enterprise Multi-Database Edition?
A: The hardware requirements are described at http://www.icpa.net/aice-hw-requirements.html. The Enterprise Multi-Database Edition must be run on a WAN with a high speed Internet connection.
