TmaxSoft – Licensing clarity as competitive edge and a healthy alternative to Oracle

TmaxSoft’s Tibero RDBMS licensing model is the first software publisher to be verified by the Campaign for Clear Licensing (CCL).

In summary:

  • TmaxSoft’s licensing program is clear and easy to understand
  • TmaxSoft have amended their terms and conditions to adhere to the Campaign for Clear Licensing (CCL) audit code of conduct

The Tibero database management system supports large scale enterprise systems and was designed from its inception to facilitate efficient and flexible integration of data and business logic, as well as providing various database management utilities.

In short, it is a refreshing commercial alternative to Oracle.

We’re delighted to announce this world first and proud to shine a light on software publishers who recognize the competitive edge delivered by clear license programs.

Carl Davies, Managing Director for TmaxSoft UK, said

“This is an important confirmation for our business. We now claim rightly that our licenses are straightforward and easy to understand, which can only be to the benefit of the market where users are so often confused and misled by unprofessional selling tactics, and uncompetitive or even unrealistic licensing terms,

“As part of this process we have also committed to the CCL’s Audit Code of Conduct V1.0 and will also follow the spirit of the Code with respect to auditing our customers,” added Carl.

Far too often we are seeing software publishers exploiting the ambiguity in their license models for commercial advantage. Leaving end user customer dazed and confused. It has been our stated goal to work with the software industry to reduce the indirect costs of using commercial software by making licenses simple and easy to use. TmaxSoft – and specifically its Oracle-compatible database Tibero – is the first software publisher to sign up to our Audit Code of Conduct and gain license verification.

The Tibero price list is a single page and very easy to understand. The prices and products are clearly set out and there are no hidden extras that customers need to look out for.

Users do not have to purchase any add-ons other than maintenance and support and those organisations choosing this gain access to upgrades and can download to two previous versions of the software.

Carl Davies concluded:

“Gaining verification for our Licensing Model from the CCL is critical in our Go To Market strategy not only here in the UK but globally. We support all forms of virtualisation and so essentially customers’ only pay for what they use. This clearly positions Tibero as an easier to manage alternative to Oracle, a more cost effective alternative to Oracle, with an easier to understand licensing model than Oracle and will adhere to the code of conduct as derived by the CCL for audits… Just how refreshing is that for the end user!”
