Revenera announced the
availability of Software Container Delivery, Revenera's service for
entitlement-driven delivery of software container images.
Revenera's Software Container Delivery accelerates
and automates revenue recognition for software producers by ensuring
entitlement-based delivery to end customers. With more producers moving to
cloud-native deployment models, there is a big market need to cover the full
process - from provisioning to customer delivery - in a seamless process,
making sure that software is only delivered to paying customers and revenue
gets recognized in seconds.
The new
functionality extends Revenera's Software
Monetization platform, an industry standard for
licensing and entitlement management, managing tens of millions of entitlements
and hundreds of millions of software downloads for the world's biggest software
suppliers. The entitlement-driven delivery of software and containers to end
customers makes sure that they automatically receive what they purchased in a
seamless process, increasing end customer success and eliminating a risk for
revenue leakage.
"The
use of containers is growing at a brisk 62% over the 2018-2023 time-frame, with
the highest growth in data management and business applications," said Mark
Thomason, Research Director, Digital Business Models and Monetization, IDC.
"Software vendors planning to evolve their deployment model should consider
Revenera's software monetization solution which now supports containers to
centralize entitlement and deployment operations across their legacy to
cloud-native deployment models."
Revenera's Software Container
Delivery:
- Accelerates
timely, accurate revenue recognition and avoids revenue leakage, through
entitlement-driven functionality that automates software delivery only to
paying customers and by providing a complete audit trail of customer activity.
- Enables
producers to deliver containers based on entitlements, accelerating their
path to containerized deployment of cloud and on-premises software.
- Provides
a single, fully-integrated back-office system to manage license, entitlements
and software delivery, removing friction and manual, home-grown processes
for software suppliers, enabling them to scale and to provide greater
operational efficiency with reduced support expenses and the elimination of
physical distribution costs.
"As
containerization grows, so does the gap between entitlement management and
continuous delivery. Too often, addressing this requires homegrown solutions
that nullify many of the benefits of this software delivery method," said
Nicole Segerer, VP of Products and Marketing at Revenera. "By streamlining
software delivery for containerized deployments, Revenera helps software
suppliers scale with the needs of their end customers, eliminating friction,
manual steps and risks for revenue recognition in the continuous delivery and
deployment cycle."
