how does the EdgeXperience subscription model work? What are the differences to a traditional licensing model?


Software Business Functionality Coverage:

  • Subscription: all-in modelling and pricing; you only pay for what you actually use. Based on fine granular feature requirements (e.g. Treasury Management, Payments, Entitlements, etc. for Business Banking) and user/usage volume at subscription start with regular (e.g. quarterly) volume adjustments as needed. The subscription includes the cost for software, implementation and integration, required DTAP* infrastructure and the Customer Success support organisation.
  • License: The software licence is typically based on your required business or business segment functionality (e.g. Business Banking) and the user/usage volume (e.g. #of employees) at purchase time; fixed scope of functionality; subsequent maintenance fees. Additional purchase cost may apply with new releases and new required functionality, changing user/usage volumes, etc.

Implementation and Integration Project:

  • Subscription: all in modelling and pricing (Project work, Integration, DTAP*) for EdgeXperience Base Features, including initial customisation; for select Features in EdgeXperience Professional and Premium bundles, one time project cost may apply (fixed cost according to customer demand). For customer individual functionality (such as widget and micro services extensions), the subscription is priced optionally.
  • Licence: considerable extra cost for any 3rd party implementation work, in addition to your own internal resources needs, fully dependent on the project scope, duration and complexity.

Infrastructure Management:

  • Subscription: all in modelling and pricing with DTAP* infrastructure; optional upon customer request: individual 3rd party all-in pricing
  • License: extra cost for 3rd party resources and DTAP* services
