Innovative Software licensing and Protection Service will enable BizSpark ISVs to get products to market more efficiently.
DUBLIN, Ireland —Sept 15, 2010 —InishTech, the Dublin based company that last year “spun out” the Software Licensing and Protection (SLP) Service, from Microsoft has been appointed as a BizSpark Network Partner and launched a special offer for all BizSpark members designed to reduce their time-to-market and increase their ROI.
InishTech, which is part owned by Microsoft, provides an online service to ISVs globally that enables them to deploy flexible licensing and commercial models and provides industry leading code and IP protection. The SLP Service allows ISVs to market multiple configurations of their product depending on customer requirements and supports a range of commercial models including SaaS, time and utility based pricing and evaluation and trial versions. It is the ideal solution for ISVs with traditional on-premise solutions, SaaS offerings or hybrid models and is particularly relevant to ISVs planning to move to a Windows Azure platform.
ISV startups today face serious challenges but they clearly value the benefits of flexible licensing models that provide commercial flexibility and can help them sell more of their product or service. Time-to-market is crucial and a fully featured service such as SLPS can provide a critical time advantage in getting product to market and being agile in responding to the different needs of early stage customers.
“New deployment models, such as the Windows Azure platform, provide major opportunities for ISVs,” said Cliff Reeves, general manager for Microsoft’s Emerging Business Team. “SLP Services can play a significant role in getting products to market quickly and in maximizing the sales potential of these new deployment models without costly or time consuming development effort.”
“We believe our SLP Service is the quickest to deploy, easiest to use and most feature-rich solution in the market today,” said Aidan Gallagher, CEO and co-founder of InishTech. “Our pay-as-you-use model in also particularly attractive for startups. Startups face numerous challenges in getting their business off the ground. They certainly don’t want to have to devote valuable resources to non-core activities and this is where SLPS can be a major help”.
“InishTech has already benefitted through our involvement with the BizSpark program and we are delighted to be able to provide something back in return. We are pleased to announce today that all current BizSpark members will be eligible to use our SLP service free of charge for three months”.
The SLP Service provided by InishTech allows software publishers and ISVs to license products in flexible ways that support and enable new business models, and protects their software investment through code transformation, license compliance and product activation.
