Imagine being able to create an additional, recurring revenue stream from your existing customers; being able to make leading application software products available to them through a managed e-commerce service; being able to participate in the SaaS phenomenon with a value-added service for your customers. And imagine being able to do all of this with minimal investment and no impact on your customer service operation.
The Business Software Centre specialises in:-
- SaaS conversion
- SaaS e-commerce
- SaaS ecosystem development
The Business Software Centre has developed a unique technology and an e-commerce service to enable the distribution of application software on a subscription basis. The service makes it possible for your customers to use popular software products with a subscription. The revenue share model entitles you to a recurring commission for as long as they continue to pay.
Their software, our service
Using our proprietary technology - TBSC Rental Bridge™, or myHostedApplications, we have created protected versions of a number of well-known software applications. These subscription versions are hosted by us and made available to customers through the Rentsoft™ e-commerce service.
Web, Windows and Virtualised application software can all be made available in the service and you will recognise some familiar names in our portfolio. Software applications can be installed locally or hosted in the cloud, but either way, all software can be disabled if the customer ceases payment.
Promoting the Rentsoft™ service and the titles available inside it to your customers will entitle you to a share of their subscription payments. And you will be entitled to a share for as long as they continue to pay.
Their software, our service, your brand
We host the subscription versions of the software and make them available on the virtual shelves of the Rentsoft™ service. We process the sales, collect the subscription payments, download or provision the software and ensure that the end user complies with software licensing and subscription terms. You promote the service and the titles available inside it to your customers. In return, we report on your transactions and issue your commissions.
The fastest way to promote the service is to connect your customers with Rentsoft™ Marketplace through links from your website or your other marketing activities. For a more tailored approach however, you may prefer us to create a dedicated service in your branding or a bespoke service.
With these levels of service we can work with you to ensure that your virtual shelves are stocked with the subscription applications which are the most appropriate for your customers. You will also benefit from an increased revenue share.
Whichever service you choose, you remain in control of your customer messaging and have the opportunity to collaborate with our ISVs in marketing activities.
Use our expertise to create a SaaS ecosystem
We have relationships with a number of significant independent software vendors and other routes to market organisations. This creates an opportunity for you to increase your market penetration and target specific vertical markets with reciprocal commercial terms and a co-branded marketing proposition.
