We have the expertise to guide you every step of the way. **Unlike our competitors, we are a partner, not a supplier. Many of our customers have been with us for over ten years, and we have helped them grow from startups to successful IPOs and M\&A transactions.**
### **It's all about support and innovation.** When it comes to high levels of customer service, support, and innovation, the larger players have fallen behind - this is what we hear from Customers switching to Nalpeiron. Much of what they offer has been acquired over the past twenty years and integrated into a range of point solutions, rather than a best-of-breed offering. Lack of focus, due to having many products and with software licensing being a small part of their business, means that Customers are less well served compared to a specialist like Nalpeiron that has total focus on the space. Finally, larger players can be much slower to deploy (non-cloud native) and significantly more costly due to the additional expenses for training, implementation, installation, and consulting required to complete a project.
Selecting the right software licensing and entitlement management vendor is a critical decision that can significantly impact your organization’s operations, scalability, and long-term success. ### Is your vendor too expensive and slow?
Thales and Revenera are large companies that tend to charge in ways that are unacceptable to today's SaaS businesses. For example, the industry standard pricing uses a percentage (%) of revenues to charge, plus a raft of onboarding, training, and implementation fees, as well as maintenance. **These costs all add up - often to double Nalpeiron's real charges. The total cost of implementation is way higher than the simple license fees.** Nalpeiron can offer costs so you can compare "apples with apples." Still, we tend to charge like a SaaS company, with fixed fees based on service levels, and there are usually no additional costs for services. Our platform is simple to use and lives in the cloud, making deployment fast and much simpler.\ \ [Learn more about how to select a vendor](https://docs.nalpeiron.com/welcome/key-questions-to-ask-a-software-licensing-vendor) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
