Conclusions
CODEMETER ROI
The ROI calculation presented here for the CodeMeter software protection and licensing solution made by Wibu-Systems is impressive proof of the financial benefits that can reasonably be expected from buying a professional licensing solution. The benefits of such a system can be found not only in the improved monetization of the software, but also in the competitive advantage offered by it and the long-term boost to the user’ s financial prowess.
Introducing efficient licensing gives companies a clear opportunity to increase their revenue. By preventing software piracy and protecting the IP invested in the product, they can expect not just increased sales, but also greater trust among their end users in the reliability and integrity of their software. Added flexibility and agility in pricing policy let companies create new, bespoke offers that are a far better match for the needs of their users and can generate entirely new revenue streams.
Implementing professional licensing also means saving costs at a substantial level. The ability to fully automate the license creation and logistics process not only facilitates internal processes, but also has a direct impact on process costs. With a single, standard licensing technology that covers hardware, software, and cloud capabilities, development costs are reduced, administration is made easier, and the updating of licenses in the field facilitated – translating into lower support costs overall.
The present ROI calculation is based on extensive interviews with actual clients and covers the investment costs and the licensing fees for the system itself as well as the expected revenue growth and the likely savings gained. The calculation was made over a three-year timeframe to offer a meaningful impression of the long-term effect of opting for such a licensing solution. By organizing the available data in four distinct scenarios, the calculation offers meaningful insights into a range of different use cases and sectors of industry – all of which clearly benefit from adopting an efficient licensing system.
Finally, this ROI calculation is impressive proof that companies that opt for CodeMeter by Wibu-Systems are not only able to markedly improve their profitability, but also sharpen their competitive edge, protect their IP, and secure lasting growth. The right licensing solution is therefore far from another cost factor, but rather an invaluable investment that can pay off in many different ways.
