Software Asset Management & Usage

Software Asset Management & Usage

Customer challenge

Extramarks is a leading company in the education sector who provide complete e-learning solutions such as 3D content and education related applications worldwide. They have purchased perpetual licenses of Autodesk Maya, but found it very challenging to renew their maintenance on a yearly basis due to constant price increase. After renewal of the software, they did not deploy a cloud-based license and instead used a perpetual license.

Project goals

Their key goals were to: 1. Create a cloud-based environment to manage the user easily. 2. Identify a solution to reduce the annual renewal cost. 3. Deploy cost effective rendering solutions.

Solution

After reviewing the business needs of Extramark, we suggested some modification to their current software. Migrating their infrastructure from a perpetual license to a subscription model enabled them to move to a cloud-based environment that allows ease of user management. We also converted some of their individual licenses to the Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection which provides some extra software in the bundle along with free rendering solutions including Arnold.

Business outcome

Extramark has found a satisfactory cloud solution to manage users in a very efficient way with the subscription model of Autodesk Maya. The migration from maintenance to subscription locked their renewal price to attain an economic backbone for their infrastructure. Using the Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection for some licenses not only provided a rendering solution through Arnold, but also includes extra software that is ready to be explored.

Conclusion

"PI Software team is always ready to support in every technical aspect. Our Journey with PI Software is a walk through of excellence in solution; always delighted us with fanatical experience. Their task force is equipped with experts who continue to exceed our expectations at every turn.
