QUICK LAUNCH/PHASED DEPLOYMENT
Your subscription doesn't start until the first phase of the project is completed and your site is configured with your test program(s), supply chain data, and user login(s). Depending on your plan, this phase also includes the branded site, test requests, and test reports, along with custom fields configuration. Naturally, you will have an investment of time into the project, but we minimize the impact with this quick launch and multi-phase approach. AFIRM Members have it even easier: LINK is delivered with a starter configuration based on the AFIRM RSL, as well as a representative product quality/performance testing program.
SUBSCRIPTION PLANS AND FEATURES 
LINK is licensed on a subscription basis, with unlimited individual users. There are three different subscription plan/service level options: Team, Enterprise, and Global. Register/login for pricing plan details.
