As a senior executive at a high-tech software company, I understand that big data and automation is driving change throughout the world. Outbound delivery of messaging to our existing and potential customers needs to be highly personal and focused. To successfully compete, my company needs more actionable intelligence for a data-driven approach to sales, marketing, and product development. My company also has a responsibility to protect our intellectual property (IP) for the sake of our shareholders, our valuable clients and employees.

We have valuable sets of data within the company, and specific groups have different objectives. We need to correlate the data we have to get a more complete picture. License compliance cuts across many disciplines of this process, if properly implemented, has the potential to dramatically impact revenues, while protecting our clients from unfair competition stemming from software piracy.

How-Can-Data-Impact-My-Company

The inability to protect our IP is an existential threat to our company. Today we see significant piracy in the rapidly growing economies in Asia, and especially within China. It is not only taking a significant percent of our growth potential away, it is destabilizing and displacing our paying customers. We must find innovative ways to combat piracy and we also need to educate our customer base on the importance of using genuine software and respecting IP rights in the technology community.

How-Is-Piracy-Affecting-Me

R&D needs to align with sales and marketing on the importance of protecting software IP and implementing a state-of-the-art LC program that will help us understand how deep the piracy problem is, how we can minimize piracy in the future, and how revenue can be recovered from IP that has already been stolen so that we can continue to fund product innovation. We can leverage the same data to provide deeper insights into customer behavior, thus helping sales and marketing to optimize trial evaluations, discover technical support issues, and re-negotiate enterprise license agreements.

License Compliance and Revenue Generation

Our Enterprise customers may be violating their license agreement by sharing licenses for multiple locations or over-deploying their software. A comprehensive license compliance program that gathers usage data will help our salespeople re-negotiate enterprise license agreements and bring customers into complete compliance. The Cylynt “virtual audit” ability can increase target conversion rates by 50-100% and eliminates the guesswork involved in estimating under-compliance and the high costs of an invasive on-site customer audit that disrupts business and customer relationships.
