SOFTCORNER Information

Perpetual licenses still represent the vast majority of software expenditures in businesses and almost all of their installed base. Since the decision of the European Court of Justice to legalize software licence reselling (C128-11 / 3 July 2012), a massive multi-billion euro secondary market for software reuse has raised in Europe, providing significant savings opportunities and new providential self-financing opportunities for European companies, whatever their size. Genuine pioneer of secondary software market, SOFTCORNER has developed a unique expertise in software licence quotation : Our knowledge of the market and our modeling algorithms enable us to build QUOTUS, the first licences quotation system which provide businesses, including some of the largest European accounts, with detailed and regularly updated price ratings. This information allows these companies to know the real value of their application portfolio, whether it is to re-evaluate their intangible fixed assets and their equity or from a resale/purchase perspective. To help businesses to save on software procurement or recover cash out of their unused software, SOFTCORNER has developed the first B2B platform dedicated to this market. Acting as trusted third party between buyers and sellers, providing a set of specific services (insurance, quotation, legal archiving, e-signature), we offer businesses a dedicated and secure environment allowing the matching of supply and demand. Some of the biggest european companies have already realized significant profits and savings, by trading software licences trough SOFTCORNER, with amounts ranging from a few thousand up to several million euros per transaction. The market is expanding rapidly, addressing more and more european countries (France, UK, Germany, Netherland, Italy and Spain), and increasing number of publishers (Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, SAP).
