Complicated, not consistent, not scaleable

  • InterOp data translators
  • Partnerships with our parent company (High end
    products)
  • Three pricing models
  • ACIS share the risks, share the benefits
  • InterOp wholesale price per seat
  • Partnerships fixed fees plus royalty

10
Software Component Pricing Model
  • ACIS modeler
  • A component type technology
  • Customer builds substantial value on top of ACIS
    3D components
  • Free evaluation and development license
  • Development may take a year or more
  • Customer invests available money into the
    business not licenses
  • When ready to sell, signs a product distribution
    agreement
  • Annual fixed distribution license fee - 19,000
  • Plus reports sales and pays a royalty on sales
    About 7
  • Minimum per seat to limit exposure at low end
    no give aways

Fulfills the mission of expanding the
availability of 3D applications
11
Subsystem Pricing Model
  • InterOp data translators
  • A subsystem type technology
  • Customer may add little value on top of a tested
    and complete translator
  • Free evaluation and development license
  • Development may take a few days (GUI type work)
  • Product ready for sales very quickly
  • When ready to sell, signs a product distribution
    agreement
  • Two pricing models
  • First pricing model
  • Whole sale price for each translator (example

    plug into existing product seat CATIA V5 CAD
    seat

Some Considerations
  • Available capital
  • Royalty based pricing provides less upfront
    growth capital
  • Customer business models
  • Royalty lowers front end capital requirements
  • Decreases margins long term
  • Customer trust and loyalty
  • Royalty reporting
  • Services and product improvement commitment
  • Can the customer go to competitive solutions?
  • Intellectual Property Protection
  • Legal actions
