Handelsblatt: „Pre-Owned Software Reduces Costs“

„An innovative and economically attractive type of internal financing“, is it called by Jörg Berberich, Senior Manager at Ernst & Young. As a „restructioring of immaterial assets in liquid assets“ is it described by Boris Vöge, executive of the preo Software AG.

They are speaking of Software Remarketing. This alternative has many advantages for users: At purchasing pre-owned software, up to 50 percent comparing to the buying of new licences can be saved; at the selling, a monetary return flow is developing, with which new licence projects can be refinanced.

Even the advantages of leasing are dwarfed by the modells of Software Remarketing, because leasing produces a financial burden, that can influence the capacity to act negatively.

With Software Remarketing, the advantages are comparable, but the dependence from creditors is reduced. The financial costs can be cut lasting.
