Costs Saved in Development, Sales, and Support
Implementing the licensing solution gives immediate access to substantial cost savings due to the system’ s perfect integration in the established business processes. By fully automating the license creation and provision process, the operating costs in sales can be brought down by a substantial margin, and integrating a single, unified hardware, software, and cloud- based protection and licensing solution promises lower development costs, especially for companies that need to rely on different types of licensing technologies. These savings also extend to support operations, as the integrated licensing system means less need for active support and optimized costs over the long run.
