SCHILLER AG Chooses Flexera Software to Support New Releases of Medical Device Technologies
Solutions Will Streamline Licensing, Enable Centralized Management of Licensing Models, and Reduce Operating Expenses
| Source: Flexera Software
SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) - Flexera Software, the leader in
software licensing, entitlement management, installation, and application
readiness solutions, today announced that SCHILLER AG has selected FlexNet Publisher®, FlexNet Operations® and FlexNet
Embedded® from Flexera Software to streamline licensing and entitlement
management processes for the latest versions of its flagship medical
products, the CARDIOVIT CS-200 and the CardioLaptop AT-110. Part of the FlexNet® Producer Suite for High-Tech
Manufacturers these solutions will help SCHILLER to add or change
licensing models easily, enabling the company to reduce operating expenses
while maximizing responsiveness to market demands.
Prior to this, as the company brought new medical products to market, it
developed specific licensing software in-house. For the latest release of
its CARDIOVIT CS-200, a cardiopulmonary diagnostic device, and its
CardioLaptop AT-110 device, SCHILLER chose to look for licensing software
that would not only provide licensing capability for the new releases and
support a new technology platform, but would also help the company
centrally manage its licensing solution. SCHILLER turned to Flexera
Software's FlexNet Producer Suite.
"Flexera Software solutions help us focus on our core competencies," said
Johan Sandberg, Product Manager at SCHILLER. "These solutions help us
leverage new technology platforms and allow us to configure and modify
license models with a few clicks as well as turn product features on and
off without going back into the software code."
Currently the company is engaged in implementation and training for FlexNet
Operations. Long term, SCHILLER plans to integrate FlexNet Operations into
the company's back-office systems, including the accounting systems and its
ERP applications. This is a common approach to implementing these
solutions.
"More and more organizations are realizing the value of relying on
third-party solutions to handle software licensing and entitlement, rather
than developing these solutions in house," said Amy Konary,
Research Director, Software Pricing, Licensing, and Delivery, IDC. "Flexera Software has an established track
record in developing solutions that help software producers license and
manage a wide range of software licensing platforms from a single source,
including existing home-grown solutions."
With FlexNet Producer Suite for High-Tech Manufacturers, SCHILLER can
efficiently protect and monetize the embedded software in its diagnostic
devices to enhance its value, providing a single system for administering
entitlements across all of its software license keys, and the flexibility
to customize pricing, packaging, and software licensing terms without
custom development. In particular, SCHILLER hopes to take advantage of the
Suite's FlexNet Embedded solution which will enable the company
to create and differentiate products without adding to manufacturing costs
by using electronic licensing to turn software capabilities or capacity on
and off.
