Bradmark Redefines Software Pricing

What are the facts?

The software industry has become notorious for achieving extraordinarily high gross margins and locking its customers into long-term version upgrades with excessive maintenance charges. Software companies routinely quote list prices then quickly revert to a discount schedule that runs up to 50% or more off list. Do you have to haggle over all of your business purchases in this manner?

We know that it is difficult to plan your budget when hardware and software upgrades result in unexpected new license fees and continually increasing annual maintenance charges. It's even worse if your business is unpredictable or expanding rapidly.

Over the past few years, software companies have announced a wide range of new licensing options that claim to move away from high license fees and recurring maintenance charges. However, there is always some form of "payback" either at the end of the term or through quarterly or annual license reconciliation.

With Bradmark's announcement of the Enterprise Software Agreement (ESA), there is now a genuine alternative. If you want to move away from:

Excessive license fees
Complex seat or server based pricing
High recurring maintenance charges
Expensive upgrade costs
Quarterly or annual license reconciliations
Professional service fees

then the Bradmark ESA could fulfill your objectives, both financially and technologically.

What is Bradmark's ESA?

Enterprise licensing from Bradmark redefines the way the industry prices software.

No quarterly or annual reconciliation for the term of the agreement
Fixed maintenance schedules with pre-agreed terms
Access to the latest technology for database and operating system monitoring and administration
Generous trade-in terms for existing competitive licenses
Extraordinary return-on-investment compared with traditional license model
