Software as a Service: Emerging Pricing Models, Trends and Tactics

Featured Speakers:
Amy Konary, Program Director of Software Pricing and Licensing, IDC Research
Colleen Smith, SaaS Director, for Progress Software

Pricing has always been a concern for Software providers. However with Software as a Service (SaaS), pricing has taken on a new level of complexity and due to the immaturity of the SaaS market, policies are inconsistent. Customers are concerned about software costs in light of the new SaaS business model, market pressures are focusing on a reassessment of business value and vendors are concerned that they are leaving money on the table with the current models.

During the webinar seminar you will learn about:

Industry Practices- Pricing Models for SaaS
How are SaaS pricing models determined?
What are the variables that are associated with Pricing?
What percentage of the Industry is using transaction vs. user-based pricing?

Essential Guidance and Best Practices
Are there any standards/premier vendors/best practices that are emerging in the area of metering/license management?
What are some of the pricing models being used today by Progress-based SaaS providers?

Auditing - Who did What, When, Where and How?

During this session, we'll provide an overview of the auditing framework and you'll see how it offers an uninterrupted audit trail of an application client's access to its operations and data. Explore sample use cases from simple application logging to nonrepudiation of the audit data to satisfy international government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, 21CFR Part 11, HIPAA, and more. OpenEdge Auditing Services for the database are implemented as a database administration utility—no changes to the database are required. Adding auditing to an application is as simple as adding a few functions that handle all the tactical details.

If you are interested in the technical details and want to get a head start on planning for and executing OpenEdge Auditing, register today to view this web seminar.
