(Norwalk, CT - 4/10/2012) InfoTECH Spotlight, the leading website dedicated to information technologies, announced today that it has launched the SaaS Licensing Channel, sponsored by SafeNet, a worldwide leader in delivering innovative, reliable software licensing and entitlement management solutions to software, cloud service, and technology vendors, as the newest addition to its Online Community program. Software publishers are increasingly making the business decision to go to market using cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) platforms, as opposed to applications that require local installation at the end-user site for product and service delivery and maintenance. What this means is that independent software vendors (ISVs) need to create licensing models that appropriately monetize SaaS applications. The transition from locally installed software to cloud-based services is in full swing across the software industry. End-users are becoming increasingly attracted to the distributed cost, billing transparency, and flexible pricing benefits promised by cloud business models. Similarly, software publishers see the benefits of cloud-based delivery, including access to new markets, insight into customer behavior, and revenues derived from innovative licensing models. While the realization of these benefits may vary case by case, one thing is certain: the shift to cloud-based software delivery and consumption presents software publishers and their customers with the opportunity to reap many benefits. In the last thirty years, the software publishing industry has changed dramatically, and the software licensing and monetization industry has changed right along with it. Licensed, on-premise solutions are waning as Software-as-a-Service applications continue to grow in popularity. This creates a crucial challenge for independent software vendors to create licensing models that can properly monetize SaaS applications. Share This! | | |
