Value of software payment solutions

Payment solutions that are tailored to the unique requirements of your customer can help them:

- Acquire more licenses today without budget creep
- Take advantage of volume discounts while locking in price
- Match the payment terms to the utilization and accelerate ROI
- Empower business line decision-makers
- Improve forecasting
- Streamline renewals by removing the traditional expense spikes

“If the license has a three year term, even fortune 500 companies would prefer to make payments over three years in order to match the payments with the use of the product.”

William Veatch, Morrison Foerster (Source: The Monitor Nov/Dec 2014)
