Computer hardware and software developers must shift to service-oriented business models to meet customer demands and build forward-looking revenue streams.

Post-sales service technology is crucial for bringing your organization forward.
Tightly manage licenses, version control, and entitlements to ensure operating costs don’t blow up the budget.

Track all revenues and entitlements by vendor terms, client, end customer, or any combination.
Design and deploy business processes to automate manual processes and improve the bottom line.
