Common Licensing Layer Build and Assist Service
Easy Implementation for the Common Licensing Layer
Software companies and intelligent device manufacturers often have homegrown licensing solutions that become increasingly difficult to maintain or older systems that do not meet the needs and requirements of today's dynamic environment. Introduction of new licensing technology can be difficult; especially when integrating with back office systems. Plus, at many organizations, product teams are typically staffed only to the point of producing core functionality and not for extensive licensing development.
The typical software vendor or intelligent device manufacturer is not a subject-matter expert on licensing, entitlement management and delivery. As such, it is easy to overlook critical factors (like common license technology) when designing licensing solutions. By engaging with an experienced team, an organization can create a more robust solution in a shorter amount of time.
Revenera Global Consulting Services has extensive experience helping organizations design a state-of-the-art softwalicensing platform. The Common Licensing Layer Build and Assist engagement supports software vendors and intelligent device manufacturers with implementation and integration of the common licensing layer.
