Education is a great challenge and a great
opportunity for all societies around the world.
It is essential for refugees trying to recover
their lives and livelihoods in a new job market.
And it is just as essential for apprentices,
students, or experienced professionals alike.
The processes and solutions in our business are
getting more and more complex, and sufficient
training and qualifications have become the
be-all and end-all. Wibu-Systems respects the
value of education and training. That is why
we are supporting career guidance projects,
training our own apprentices, and earmarking a
substantial budget for the continuing education
of our professionals. Product seminars and
training for our staff in Germany and abroad and
for our distributors and clients are just another
dimension of this. Together, this ensures topquality advice and support and the optimum
use of our solutions for your applications.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is on everybody’s
lips. The analysts at Gartner expect that the
world will have 25 billion connected devices
by 2020, not counting smartphones, tablets, or
regular PCs. Selling software-based functions
that your customers want and need and
getting paid for them are two elementary
tasks for businesses in the IoT. Developers
need to offer more value for their customers
and establish sustainable business models.
CodeMeter can help them with modular
licensing, usage monitoring, and license
delivery from the cloud.
Read more about what’s new with CodeMeter
in this issue of KEYnote. Named User Licenses,
expanded WebDepot functions, a look at the
projects of our professional services team,
exciting success stories from our clients, and
a round-up of all the latest news are waiting
for you.
This fall will again bring countless expos,
conferences, and trade fairs. Come and visit us
and let’s share our viewpoints. I look forward
to seeing you, and wish you and your families
a pleasant holiday period and a healthy endof-year business.
