How Software Licensing Helps Manufacturers Generate Value from Embedded Software
An IDC Report
Software is inside almost everything we interact with — automobiles, vending machines, various mobile devices, building systems, and "smart" devices. In many cases, the value associated with these physical goods and devices is monetized primarily with the sale of that good.
This report, prepared by IDC, shows how increasingly, software licensing is helping manufacturers of these goods and devices generate value from embedded software by:
- Providing an additional, high-margin revenue stream
- Protecting intellectual property (IP) from misuse
- Simplifying product packaging while allowing for more flexible configurations
- Lowering inventory costs by decreasing the number of SKUs needed to satisfy unique customer demands
