InishTech announces Starter Pack for Microsoft® BizSpark™ members


Subscription free access to the leading software licensing & monetization service

DUBLIN, Ireland, June 16th, 2011 —InishTech, a global leader in software monetization & licensing services for .NET developers announces a completely new range of service packages to mark the transition of their SLPS service to the Microsoft Windows Azure platform.

InishTech SLPS, which provides software ISVs with the ability to drive revenue from their cloud applications, has been running on Azure for several months, but InishTech have now announced a range of new service packages for different customer types.

What is generating most interest is the news that members of Microsoft® BizSpark™ (a global program designed to drive the success of early stage technology start-ups that boasts over 40,000 member companies) will now be able to use the InishTech service completely free of subscription fees. Commenting on the announcement, Cliff Reeves, General Manager of BizSpark at Microsoft said: “A service like SLPS is a vital ingredient in the recipe for commercial success for early stage software start-ups. You simply have to make sure you are protecting your IP and monetizing your customers effectively from day one. With the Starter Pack from InishTech, BizSpark members are getting a much needed head start in gearing their application for the market”.

InishTech CEO Aidan Gallagher added his own thoughts: “What we’ve done with the Starter Pack is pretty simple really. Cloud computing is turning the software industry on its head, so when we look at BizSpark, we see the technology leaders of tomorrow. We have always found our service – designed to help you make money from your software applications – is of particular interest, and relevance – to the start-up community, but cost has often been a barrier. With the StarterPack, you get the entire SLPS portfolio, and you only pay us when you are successful. It’s our investment in the future, and we are confident it will be a great success”.
InishTech simultaneously welcomed the first 12 customers onto the StarterPack program today, all promising technology companies that reflect the global nature of the BizSpark program, including Glorsoft (Ireland), Pecunia Systems (Denmark), Connected Services (Netherlands), Inovativa Technologia (Brasil), Juriba (UK), Progetti (Italy) and Capture Components, Multiweb Systems, PivotStream, Intrity and GladTower (USA).
