Piracy Business Intelligence Solution
Quantify Your Piracy Problem and Recover Revenue
Adding detection and reporting technologies using
CodeArmor Intelligence enables ISVs to quantify the scope of their piracy
problem and identify the actual organizations using pirated software to build their
businesses. This makes it easier to recover the license revenue by pursuing them
through legal or sales activities.
The solution detects piracy, gathers forensic evidence of infringement, and transforms
this information into a lead for the ISV to act on. Because the information is generated
from the use of pirated software, ISVs avoid impacting their licensed customers.
The V.i. Labs Piracy Business Intelligence solution is turnkey. It provides a method
to add piracy detection and reporting to existing applications, centrally collect
and correlate the data, and present the information in a lead management and piracy
dashboard interface.
Piracy Prevention Solutions
Software piracy continues to be a multi-billion dollar problem for the software
industry. While global piracy studies exist, individual ISVs are challenged to quantify
the specific impact that piracy has on their own products and businesses.
Increasingly software vendors are turning their anti-piracy strategy focus to license
revenue recovery. Traditionally, this has occurred through legal services and leads
from insiders or field support personnel. V.i. Labs offers a unique approach - Piracy
Business Intelligence - to develop actionable leads from the use of pirated software,
directly targeting the organizations adopting this software to recover revenue from
them.
Piracy Business Intelligence versus Protection
Selecting the right anti-piracy strategy depends on a variety of factors including
market focus, the type of software, and the maturity of the business and software.
Software vendors are realizing that targeting the cracking community and piracy
group operations with software protection, take down notices, and other countermeasures
does not combat the true issue – adoption of pirated software by businesses with
the potential to pay license revenue. Piracy Business Intelligence provides an approach
that not only quantifies the extent of vendors piracy problems, but also offers
a direct means to recover lost revenue.
