FlexNet Delivery On-Demand is an electronic software delivery service that gives software producers and high-tech manufacturers the power to cost-effectively distribute their products to customers worldwide. Software vendors and high-tech manufacturers often ship software via CD or DVD, which is inefficient and expensive, or build rudimentary download sites (“FTP sites”) that are expensive to maintain and a burden to use. Fulfilling software via CD or DVD incurs freight, assembly, warehousing and management costs. Our studies show that these costs add up to $30 per unit on average and may account for 3-4% of product line revenues for some software producers. Homegrown FTP sites are not secure and typically provide no way to enforce entitlements or track who has downloaded your software. Electronic software delivery (or electronic software distribution) is a way to solve these challenges quickly and efficiently. FlexNet Delivery On-Demand’s electronic software distribution helps you eliminate physical fulfillment costs and ensure that only customers that are entitled to your software can download it. Unlike homegrown download sites, FlexNet Delivery On-Demand enforces entitlements by allowing only customers current on maintenance or subscription to electronically download your software products. It also mitigates your export compliance and revenue recognition concerns and reports on how customers are using your products. All this in an easy to manage, SAS 70-certified, Software as a Service (SaaS) offering. FlexNet Delivery On-Demand is a hosted service within the FlexNet Producer Suite.
