Software Business Growth Magazine invited Revenera's vice president of product management Vic DeMarines to share his thoughts on how product management professionals can leverage usage intelligence to build better products.

SD Times included Revenera in its annual SD Times 100 list highlighting companies that "tear down walls" in the software industry. Revenera was awarded the recognition in the development tools category.

SD Times quotes Flexera CEO Jim Ryan on the rebranding of the Flexera division that focuses on software monetization, software composition analysis and installation. “Our division serving software and IoT companies has a new name, Revenera. This rebranding will result in better experiences for our customers and clearer understanding in the market about Revenera’s unique strengths: helping technology suppliers build better products, accelerate time to value and monetize what matters.”

According to Flexera, open source users often under-report open source usage, resulting in licence compliance issues and vulnerabilities being present in their applications.

IT Briefcase conducted an exclusive interview with Kendra Morton on Flexera’s annual State of Open Source License Compliance report.

Flexera's Dave McLoughlin discusses benefits of open source and how careful planning and management can minimize unintended consequences, protect data, and protect your business.

Flexera has been selected as the winner of the “IoT Enablement Company of the Year for the Enterprise Market” award in the 4th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program from IoT Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market.

Research from Flexera shows how product managers and customer executives at software and device manufacturers can better understand and improve the relationship between monetization and customer relationships.

This article is the fourth in a six-part series about monetizing IoT by Flexera's Cris Wendt. In this article, Wendt offers a deep dive into monetization metrics and the units that matter most to customers.

Flexera's 3rd Monetization Monitor finds that the move to new business models for software, such as subscription services and SaaS, will require suppliers to better understand their customer relationships and offer improved usage data.

How is software being used? Understanding that answer can lead to innovative software monetization strategies. Here, Flexera’s Matthew Dunkley evaluates what usage is, how to embrace effective data collection, and SaaS leaders’ best practices.

Innovation is a watchword for software suppliers and IoT companies. In the process of developing meaningful products, one particular aspect must be evaluated: how software is used. Flexera’s Matthew Dunkley evaluates the role of usage data in establishing efficient monetization plans.

Software usage data allows product managers and teams to improve software, deliver enhanced value to customers, and to stay-on trend with usage patterns and to implement consumption-based models. Usage data is critically important, whether the software is cloud-based, on-prem, or embedded on devices.

This article is the second in a six-part series about monetizing IoT by Flexera's Cris Wendt. In this article, Wendt defines the IoT stack and discusses how best to monenetize it.

Suppliers who don’t develop usage data collection capabilities run the risk of falling behind their competitors. With the software monetization solutions available today there’s no reason for suppliers to operate in the dark.

Flexera's Monetization Monitor: Usage Management & Insights report offers an industry benchmark for how companies are using usage data. BetaNews reports that "Software developers need to know not just whether an app is being used but also which features are most used and whether that use is increasing or declining."

As a software company implements a framework for moving to subscription, thoughtful consideration of needs (the supplier’s and its customers’) are important parts of the plan. This article by Flexera’s Cris Wendt highlights the keys to an effective implementation.

Subscription is a highly flexible software monetization model. This article by Flexera's Scott Niemann outlines its benefits and consider best practices for implementation in order to maximize the long-term revenue growth opportunities of this rapidly growing model.

This article is the first in a six-part series about monetizing IoT by Flexera's Cris Wendt. In this first article, Wendt looks at monetization goals to help businesses produce healthy, growing revenue streams that set the foundation for monetization.

Sean Sullivan, a product strategy consultant for Product Stride, notes that the recent Flexera Monetization Monitor found that 63% of software organizations continue to have moderate to extensive on-premises deployments. Sullivan concludes "if you do a review of current product management blogs, books, podcasts, and tweets you will find a number of modern product development best practices that simply do not work with on-premises software. Some can with extra work, but most do not. This is a problem."
