HELIOS Software introduces low-cost subscription option for leading server software

) January 14, 2009 -- HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading developer of cross-platform networking, PDF, and image server solutions for Mac, Windows, and web clients, introduces a software subscription model for its software products. Customers can now subscribe to HELIOS software solutions on an annual basis. An important benefit of the yearly software subscription program is a much smaller upfront investment. It enables customers to use HELIOS server software in a more project-oriented way. Additional flexibility is provided as customers can modify the product configuration anytime to match changed requirements including new hardware platforms.


Existing HELIOS customers can easily enhance their current installation by choosing additional features including web access provided by HELIOS WebShare, automated image repurposing features using HELIOS Image Server, or extended PDF preflighting, proofing, and printing tools coming with HELIOS PDF HandShake and HELIOS PrintPreview. The new HELIOS software subscription is available for the current HELIOS UB+ server solution and the previous HELIOS UB server solution software, with support for all major server platforms, including Solaris, Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and AIX. The start date can be freely chosen in order to match the customer's annual business year.


Main benefits of the new software subscription include:


- Better use of budget - much lower upfront buy-in costs in the first year allow better use of existing budgets


- Immediate write-off of costs - the yearly subscription fee can be expensed, with no need to depreciate over many years


- No additional costs - subscription includes all updates and upgrades


- Minimal risk of investment - software can be fully utilized for a short period of time


- High feature flexibility - adjust the configuration of user licenses and product features to match changed requirements anytime


- Software as a Service - system integrators and service providers can offer a complete solution on a yearly subscription basis, including deployment of software and hardware with remote administration.
