Announced this week, the software, called Pertinence Suite powered by Velocity, also includes a value-based pricing model that charges customers only when they use the software. This unique approach eliminates the large initial investment of purchasing an enterprise software license. Instead, each time a software module is used — for a transaction, to search for a rule, or to issue a production order, for example — a corresponding number of credit units is deducted from a prepaid card. The more credits purchased, the lower the per-unit cost, the company said. "We want our customers to derive value from the suite as quickly as possible," said John Todd, Intercim's president and CEO, in a statement. "This pay-per-use model leverages the suite's flexible and scalable capabilities while making it financially less restrictive for manufacturers to implement a state-of-the-industry solution."
