Software Licensing
Licencing
The old business model of purchasing liscencing and hosting services on premises is currently outdated and has a extremely large impact on the viability of having services in house to say form various perspectives.
They are expensive form a capex and opex perspective and also require a lot of maintenance overheads.
The flexibility of the liscencing model is rigid and very seldom allows for any movement within short spaces of time thus you are locked in for an extended period even though the organisations requirements may have changed radically.
Internal infrastructure (servers and the like) and human resources with a certain skill set are required to maintain and run the various in house applications and services.
The new licencing model.
- Liscence products and services as and when required and for how long you require them.
- No capex is required as services are rented –leased thus it is an opex expense.
- No internal skill set required to install run or manage the services.
- None or very little on site infrastructure required.
