Thales Sentinel, a software licensing, delivery and protection systems has integrated its tools with Zuora and Cylynt to offer better software monetisation capabilities for customers through more complete end-to-end software lifecycle management.
Working with Zuora provides a subscription billing and license management integration that enables customers across all industries to transform into subscription-based businesses, it says.
“Delivering value in the Subscription Economy® requires companies to effectively and efficiently manage access to their digital technology. At the same time, companies must provide customers with a seamless and secure user experience. This new partnership with Thales will provide our joint customers with a scalable, agile solution uniquely suited to drive accessibility and usage of subscription offerings. This will enable consistent, long-term growth,” said Kristin Hagan, Global Head of ISV's and Technology Partnerships at Zuora.
This works in tandem with Cylynt’s anti-piracy and software compliance technology which provides a way to turn software misuse into revenue.
“The main business driver for our global customers is revenue growth. In today’s market, companies need to offer software on recurring revenue models with subscription licensing being front and center. It is critical to our customers that they can go to market with fully integrated software purchasing, billing and licensing systems that offer simplicity for their end-users. Our customers also put a premium on ensuring that they maximize revenue from their existing customers so we are really excited about this partnership with Cylynt as it will give our customers additional control over end-customer compliance,” said Damien Bullot, Vice President, Software Monetization at Thales.
Ted Miracco, CEO at Cylynt added: "A key aspect of delivering high-quality software in tandem with a sustainable sales strategy, is being able to understand how your software is being used by end-users. Just as important though, is knowing that someone cannot replicate your hard work through techniques like reverse engineering. Our collaboration with Thales will enable providers to gain that vital insight into their customers, while having the peace of mind of knowing that their intellectual property is safe from competition.”
