No upfront license cost

The primary factor that drives clients towards subscription-based pricing is the elimination of upfront license fees. Clients migrate to subscriptions to clean up years of complex contracts, eliminate unused licenses, and negotiate subscription agreements aligned with the true needs of the business. With the elimination of capital expenditure via no upfront license fees, subscription-based pricing is attractive to clients.

Flexibility

This dynamic pricing model offers clients increased flexibility. Customers find it simpler and more cost effective to scale up and down using subscription-based pricing models. Subscription based-models enable them to match the system's expense to their usage, number of contracts, transactions or use of storage. Clients are hence provided with the capacity to plan and grow in a way that is more manageable, aligned with the value they extract from the solution and with substantially reduced or zero upfront risk and capital outlay.

Simpler to offer a proof of concept

Upfront license costs make it challenging to offer clients a trial period or give them a feel of the product before they make a long-term financial commitment. While some enterprise software providers offer free trials, the upfront license still dissuades new clients from entering into a contract. Subscription-based pricing makes it possible to offer a proof of concept period, allowing the customer to gain confidence in the system and develop a comfort level with the product prior to broader enterprise adoption.

Agility and access

Subscription-based pricing models encourage a more agile development cycle and swifter time to value, enabling customers to rapidly realize benefits. As cloud deployment and upgrades are typically faster and more automated than on-prem, companies opting for cloud-based products and subscription-based pricing have access to the latest product updates, with "always on" availability.

Start-ups and smaller companies provided access to world leading solutions

Subscription-based pricing models make industry leading enterprise software accessible to start-ups, or smaller organizations that have smaller capital budgets. Through flexible subscription-based pricing options, smaller companies can gain access to the same platforms used by the largest global companies which can enable them to even the playing field against larger, established competitors.
