Application Jukebox transforms Windows apps into SaaS apps for your customers
Cloud computing has made it possible for applications—previously limited to running on individual desktops—to be delivered in the Cloud. This saves users the pain of installation, activation, software updates, and so on, and allows application providers a means to lower their costs and drive revenue.
But many ISPs only deliver web-based applications to their customers—and thousands of existing Windows applications that customers need to use are not available from many providers in the Cloud, thanks to myriad limitations—e.g., the size and complexity of the apps themselves, limitations of the infrastructure in place, and so on. How can providers get around these obstacles so they provide more Windows apps to more customers?
Deliver Traditional Windows applications to Your Customers in the Cloud
Using Application Jukebox™ technology, you can easily convert virtually all your traditional Windows applications to be delivered in a SaaS model from the Cloud. You and your end users get all the benefits of SaaS: fewer installation requirements, less activation time, pay-as-you-go access, instant patches and upgrades, improved license management and payment enforcement, and more.
Endeavors Technologies uses patented application virtualization and streaming technology with the latest breakthroughs in SaaS licensing for on-premise software. This gives ISPs the ability to create a Windows application store as a service to distribute, manage, and secure applications for all your customers. The “app store” can be a lucrative tool in your Cloud-based toolbox. Read more in our SaaS datasheet.
How ISPs Can Drive Revenue from a Saas Application Delivery Model
- New revenue opportunities: Create a Windows application store that can sell customers traditional software using a SaaS model. Application Jukebox gives you the flexibility to retail software in traditional model and a subscription model. Users are more and more willing to adopt a pay-per-usage model to avoid the pain of upfront costs for software titles.
- Package applications for streaming: Provide easy and rapid distribution by packaging an application once and seamlessly distributing that set of applications to any PC, individual user, a group of users, or a group of computers. Effortlessly rollout patches to keep customers up to date with latest bug fixes. With Application Jukebox powering your AppStore, applications can be pre-configured and ready to be deployed for your customer's environment.
- Reduce licensing costs and hassles: Significantly decrease your customer’s headaches by lowering the number of licenses required for most applications.
- Guarantee compliance of license agreement. Application Jukebox allows your customers to run only the number of licenses they have purchased. Application Jukebox's copy protection and security mechanism satisfies software vendors so their assets are not pirated or illegally distributed, which can help lower your software license costs. The built-in Application Jukebox DRM and reporting features significantly reduce software piracy and license breaches, preventing software duplication off a user’s PC.
- Centralized application reporting and management: Application reporting and usage information gives you insight into your customers’ vital statistics on how many users have accessed an application or how many licenses are available and in use. This not only provides real time usage information of all the applications running from your SaaS servers, but also helps you stay in compliance.
Once your customers have been converted from trial to subscription service or other means of ongoing purchase, Application Jukebox keeps your app control centralized, not at the user’s PC. Application Jukebox can show how prospects and customers are using your software, giving your better visibility for improvements in next versions.
Many end users—and many of your customers—simply want to use their applications to do their jobs. The last thing they want to do is manage the download, installation, configuration and management of new patches and upgrades. With Application Jukebox from Endeavors, you and your team can deliver the right solution that will most benefit your customers. Click here to have one of our App Store specialists contact you.
