Subscription Management and eCommerce Infrastructure Enable Software as a Service
NEW YORK, February 08, 2005 -- eMeta Corporation, the leading provider of digital access control and commerce solutions, today announced the availability of its eRights Suite for the software industry. The eMeta eRights Suite provides off-the-shelf applications for licensing, commerce, billing and reporting that enable software vendors and service providers to reach beyond traditional licensing to increase sales and subscriptions, minimize customer price resistance, expand markets and increase recurring revenue.
"The eMeta eRights Suite provides an off-the-shelf application that acts as the server-side traffic cop and toll collector for SaaS applications," said Carol Baroudi, Partner, Hurwitz & Associates. "By allowing software vendors and service providers to interact directly with each and every end user, eMeta enables them to securely license and sell their applications and to monitor, manage and retain these customers at the same time."
The eMeta eRights Suite provides the essential features for SaaS commerce, including licensing, billing, promotion and customer service. Its software license enforcement and asset protection capabilities guard against software piracy. Tools to maintain, cultivate and up-sell subscribers include the ability to license on a per-seat, pay-per-use, subscription, modular, timed or trial period basis, allowing varied business models for the same service. eMeta empowers SaaS providers to overcome price resistance, optimize recurring revenue, and minimize customer churn, enabling new sales opportunities.
"Our customers are leading the way by using eRights to enable software as a service," said Jonathan Lewin, CEO and founder, eMeta. "We're actively reaching out to additional software publishers that will benefit from the flexibility that eRights provides. By partnering with eMeta, ISVs will have a strong competitive advantage in SaaS as the market evolves."
The eMeta eRights Suite provides media, software and service providers with the tools to monetize digital goods and services. Be it software, content or rich media, eRights reduces time-to-market, streamlines costs and increases revenue. The eRights Suite is available as both an installed and hosted application.
