Synchro Offers Corporate Licensing Enabled by Agilis

3 December 3, 2009 – Coventry, England -- Tom Dengenis, CEO, has announced that Synchro has adopted the Orion Network Licensing Platform by Agilis Software of Santa Clara, California.

Orion provides Synchro with the ability to better address its clients' needs by enabling flexible licensing models including Network Concurrent Corporate User-Subscription-based Licensing as an option along with the standard Named User License.

Synchro enhances its digital licensing with greater operational efficiency as part of its business vision to license its 4D BIM construction planning, scheduling and modelling software to major companies worldwide. Synchro hosts the Orion Server in its data centre to offer Internet-based, automated activation and node-locking on both connected and disconnected systems (via Orion's 'sneakernet' capability).

"We see a great fit for our Orion Network Licensing Platform to meet Synchro's user role and product module based licensing requirements as well as support Synchro's customer demand for corporate network licenses," said Dominic Haigh of Agilis Software. "Orion will help Synchro license their software more efficiently and accommodate more licensing scenarios to meet the diverse needs of their rapidly growing global construction industry user base."

With Orion's option controls, Synchro can issue Synchro Client as either Professional, Express, Workgroup or Project Constructor-level licenses for its application. Synchro can also add separate modules, like the Objectivity Database solution, each as a setting along with the licensed version level and enforce a time limit for trial installations -- all from the one activation executable provided to all users.

"We needed a more capable solution with the flexibility of offering our larger, multinational customers floating concurrent licenses managed by our license server with the option to offer our customers the ability to self-host our license server on their premises," said Tom Dengenis. "Orion has readily met all our requirements, and even though we are eight time zones away in the UK, we have found Agilis very easy to work with, and their support to be excellent."
