CoCreate now offers one of the broadest choices of licensing options in the industry, one that includes both ownership and full-service subscriptions.
CoCreate, as well as industry analysts, note that traditional licensing, in which a company owns a permanent seat of software, sometimes compels businesses to buy more product than they need, whereas smaller companies delay purchases that could benefit their business due to the risk involved in a major software investment.
"Forrester estimates that US firms overspent on technology by $65 billion between 1998 and 2000", writes Nicholas Wilkoff, Forrester Research, in his March 2004 report, "The Future Of Software Pricing".
"Today's pricing models don't help the cause, encouraging buyers to stock up on seats to accommodate unplanned spikes in usage".
"Buyers can avoid this overspending by tying their software costs directly to usage".
CoCreate's full-service subscription licensing is ideal for companies that want to minimise capital purchases and free themselves of financial risk.
This licensing strategy provides companies the luxury of improving their products by designing with state-of-the-art technology with no capital outlay required.
Tying software costs directly to usage, as suggested by Forrester Research, further enhances a fast yield on a minimal investment.
CoCreate's full-service, 12-month subscription licensing provides the complete product and full customer care.
New service packs and major new releases as well as support and maintenance are included.
Online training materials will provide ongoing education.
"Many companies are thinking carefully about the degree of capital investment and long-term commitment they are willing to make in today's economic climate", said William M Gascoigne, CoCreate CEO.
"CoCreate has responded to the uncertainty by offering full-service subscription licensing to address those concerns and allow customers to switch without penalty to the full-ownership model at a later date".
