HarrisData Sets the Bar for the Enterprise Software Industry by Introducing “The Software Customer’s Bill of Rights” to Protect Mid-Sized Organizations.


(PRLEAP.COM) Brookfield, WI (June 05, 2006) -– HarrisData, Inc. is the first Software Development Company to provide “The Software Customer’s Bill of Rights” and a unique License Agreement that is “Unlike any other offering in the Industry”, stated Michael Mallen, Chief Marketing Officer. “We believe that software companies should not penalize software customers through old and antiquated license agreements that fail to address a customer’s business requirements,” he further stated.

Unfortunately, traditional software licenses give vendors too much control over the economics of the relationship and software customers are left at the mercy of the ever-changing policies of their vendors. As a result, Software customers become the victims of high software utilization, upgrade, administrative and maintenance costs. Long and painful negotiations may provide some protection for customers, but today’s software licenses fundamentally protect the vendor’s rights, and offer little protection of the customer’s rights.

To that end, an Advisory Panel consisting of HarrisData customers was created to study what software users expected of their provider. The product of their efforts resulted in “The Software Customer’s Bill of Rights”. It was established to fundamentally shift the balance of power from the software vendor to software customer. Software vendors have traditionally used their license agreements as a basis for exercising control over their customers. Software vendors supporting the “Software Customer’s Bill of Rights” put their customer first- starting with a license agreement founded on terms favorable to the customer. Realizing the need for major change in the industry, HarrisData Executive Management took these recommendations to heart, and created the “Omni-License.” This new way of purchasing software has created a paradigm shift in the software industry.
