The 

Diligence Cloud 

data storage and management platform has been designed to be a one-

stop-shop covering the widest variety of monitoring needs. It is recognised however, that not 
all customers will require all features. Licence levels were therefore introduced, to provide 
tiered access, depending on business or organisational needs.

There are currently four 

Diligence Cloud 

licence levels covered by each of the following plans:

•

Lite Plan

Designed to provide the minimum level of features in order to get started. Perfect for either a 
small numbers of users (up to three), or a small number of transmitters (up to ten). It includes 
all the features you need to receive alarms.

•

Plus Plan

Allows for unlimited users and up to one hundred transmitters as well as additional alarm 
features (include repeat and snooze alarm functions) and Multi-Graph.

•

Premium Plan

Includes all of the features of the previous plans for unlimited transmitters and users, as well 
as 21CFR Part 11 compliant features such as alarm acknowledge with forced comments, 
digital signature, and an electronic data signing.

•

Enterprise Plan

This is our custom offering that has all features enabled, but which allows for additional 
specific requirements not covered by any other licence plan, such as an instance of the 

Diligence Cloud 

on your own network. 

NOTE

- The full breakdown of features per licence plan is subject to change so it is advised to 

contact us or your local distributor for the latest information.
