Information Technology

Over the years, our thousands of clients have helped us to understand their responsibilities and objectives concerning IT.  A common goal is maximizing IT resources: disabling obsolete applications and upgrading frequently used applications.  The following are areas where PreEmptive can help your organization make a substantial impact:

1) Prioritize Investments for Maximum Impact

Few organizations have the luxury of bottomless budgets or a lack of projects on which to focus.  After years of material technology investment, one of IT's most significant challenges is understanding how these technologies are being used and their impacts on organizational performance.  Yet most have little information to help prioritize investments and cull unprofitable applications.  Thanks to extensive consultation with clients, PreEmptive built and launched a comprehensive solution to help clients understand and evaluate their technology portfolios.  Using our instrumentation platform (Dotfuscator) combined with our Runtime Intelligence Service (RIS), organizations have the ability to map application utilization and impact for the first time ever. The good news is that this doesn't require ripping the engine apart to look at the components.  PreEmptive's solutions already have most of what's required to easily couple with and begin tracking application utilization.

2) Contribute Towards Achieving Financial Goals

In addition to providing key solutions to those responsible for driving sales, many organizations directly support solutions sold to clients.  In these cases where IT is building, maintaining, and/or supporting commercial products, most have only had time to build in basic licensing capabilities.  Over the last 20 years, these capabilities may have been enough since licensing followed very basic models.  However, the exceptional ascension of Software as a Service ("SaaS") and introduction of globally used rapid development tools have dramatically changed the competitive landscape.  The ability to offer highly flexible licensing scenarios (aka: SKU-agility) is now a fundamental requirement and essential to organizations selling commercial technology products. In conjunction with Microsoft, PreEmptive now provides one of the most comprehensive and easily implemented licensing solutions of its kind (SLP Services).

3) Extend & Protect Competitive Advantage

Organizations consider many of their key applications to be sources of material competitive advantage.  This is the case whether an organization is a software publisher or licensing third party products.  PreEmptive's value proposition to publishers is extremely straightforward.  Leaving your intellectual property and your most important assets unprotected in an environment where IP theft is rampant is a gross oversight.  Ironically, many of our clients first need to find those assets currently at risk (whether developed in-house or by third parties).  At their request, we developed an application code scanner that finds and flags all unprotected applications.  Once identified, any or all can be protected using PreEmptive's patented instrumentation platform (Dotfuscator) - the leading solution for obfuscating code and making it significantly more difficult to steal.  With thousands of software publishers already using PreEmptive solutions, many publishers are already on solid footing to respond to Licensee requests for better protection since they may already own our solutions.

4) Prevent Security Breaches

While most IT professionals need little explanation of the need for, or importance of, strong IT security practices, many don't realize how many of the applications used by their organization are at risk.  Whether exposed to internal or external threats, many applications are at risk of tampering.  PreEmptive's products provide not only an important line of defense, but also a key protective response mechanism.  Through our Tamper Notification & Response capabilities, applications can be disabled or handicapped in the event of tampering incidents.  It's not enought to protect the underlying data when tampering with application code can ultimately lead to the wrong parties accessing the same data that all thought was protected.
