ChannelPartner: „Secure Business with Secondhand-Software“

The market is growing. And it will continue to grow, in spite of legal disputes, ChannelPartner is sure about that. The specialist magazine reports that the trade with pre-owned software can be practiced „without any risk“ under special conditions.

There is a large interest in software remarketing: If a company does not use a specific software any more, it is obvious that they want to resell the assets. Anything else would be a waste of capital. Also the purchase is profitable, buyers can save about 50 percent compared to the original price. Certified accountants from Ernst & Young summarize: „We expect that the market will develop solidly and that it will be leaded by software traders who have business models which are grounded on transparency and correctness.“ An example for such an promising model is offered by preo Software AG; ChannelPartner confirms the high degree of transparency and no risk for the buyer.
