Using software-as-a-service (Saas) is an accepted business practice as the subscription fees spread payment out across the entire term of the software agreement. The software subscriptions provide the full value of YSoft SafeQ with a lower upfront investment and as an operating rather than capital expense. Software support and service level agreements (SLAs) are also built in.
Y Soft worked with its sales channel partners in the Y Soft Early Access Program to ensure the model is easily understood and complementary to the channel’s existing subscription models for multifunction devices (MFDs) and Managed Print Services (MPS) sales. Now YSoft SafeQ software subscriptions are available to all sales channel partners who wish to offer a convenient, incremental payment option to large Fortune 1000 companies and SMBs for enterprise print management.
“With the global rollout of software subscriptions, YSoft SafeQ is the only print management solution that offers subscription pricing to all its MFD partners and across its entire sales channel. Subscription services are extremely beneficial for our partners as the upfront costs diminish further due to reduced set up time and expense. Organizations don’t need to make the investment in infrastructure to host the application on-site or personnel to configure the system.” said Václav Muchna, CEO & Co-founder at Y Soft.
In a statement, the company said, it still continues to offer YSoft SafeQ under licensed purchase and, like its software subscription alternative, it is priced on a per-device basis.
