Business Wire
ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNK), a global,
omni-channel technology and fulfillment provider, today announced a
strategic partnership with Reprise Software, Inc., a leading
provider of software license technology, to provide hardware and
software companies a flexible, cloud-based platform for entitlement
management, enforcement, usage and monetization.
“Our alliance creates a complementary offering between
ModusLink’s Poetic™ entitlement management capabilities and the
software licensing services offered by Reprise Software,” said Hans
Veenendaal, Chief Commercial Officer at ModusLink. “The two
companies will build on their common goal to deliver end-to-end
services for license management and device monetization management
tools. Combined, this represents a logical step forward, creating a
complete ‘digital-to-physical’ supply chain management
solution.”
Companies that rely on software or software-driven devices for
future growth, to profitably price and monetize their products,
need software infrastructure with licensing controls, entitlement
management tools and analytics built-in, so that they can support
new business models such as license subscriptions and metering.
“We are thrilled to team-up with an industry pioneer such as
ModusLink to bring the kind of flexibility and deployment choices
that companies need for the control, use and monetization of their
software products and services,” stated Matt Christiano, Chief
Executive Officer of Reprise Software. “Together, we are driven to
deliver transformative licensing programs that enable businesses to
keep up with changing requirements, enhance the customer experience
and ensure revenue recognition.”
The PoeticTM entitlement management solution is an
enterprise-class application available in the cloud or on-premises.
It delivers software publishers, channel providers and end-users a
single, centralized portal for the control, use and monetization of
software and services, as well as IoT system visibility and
monitoring. It supports the complete license and entitlement
management lifecycle – including upgrades, subscriptions and
renewals – for perpetual, term, trial, maintenance and support
licenses and entitlements.
The PoeticTM system is integrated to connect smart devices into
supply chain and e-commerce solutions. By leveraging supply chain
expertise, ModusLink provides “out-of-the-box,” end-to-end
solutions, using its infrastructure to accelerate time to
value.
The Reprise License Manager (RLM) will enable more effective
pricing and licensing for sale to end-users. Unlike legacy
licensing systems, RLM provides an open platform that is easy to
integrate with existing applications, accessible reporting
capabilities, and improved value-oriented pricing.
“As we enter a new era in intelligent device monetization and
software entitlement management, we believe this unique
collaboration between Reprise and ModusLink represents the future
of information insight within enterprises as well as supply chain
technology and e-commerce platforms. We are excited about our
partnership opening the door to greater opportunities with clients
to meet industry compliance requirements, while focusing on
creating additional value,” Veenendaal concluded.
