Sell Software as a Service (SaaS) with the eRights Suite.
Software has traditionally been developed and delivered as an installable product. However, the Internet has enabled companies to deliver software as a service, often driving down upfront and maintenance costs, as well as making revenue flow more predictable.

New Technologies to Meet New Challenges
One of the challenges in delivering software as a service is that it requires new licensing and billing technologies. Instead of counting installed copies, licensing is based on Web-based sessions, downloads, storage limits, and the like. Commerce in the new billing model now includes direct and recurring billing, sometimes with credit cards, and other times with EFT or checks.
Authentication, access control, flexible licensing models, customer care and billing are just some of the mechanisms software service providers must develop to bring their core application to market. These features - - in their own right - - comprise a software application.
Developing these technologies shouldn't be the core focus for software companies and service providers; these are all handled by eMeta's eRights Suite, letting you focus on what you do best: developing the software applications, or providing the services, that are your core business.
eMeta's eRights Suite is available to you as a product or as a managed service, so you can choose which offering is appropriate for your organization.
