Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

Context
Softcorner is a European successful start-up created in February 2014, which developed the first European marketplace of second-hand software licenses. Softcorner has created a disruptive business-model offering middle-sized and big companies the opportunity to value (i.e price and resale) their unused software licences.
We offer to companies a very large panel of second-hand standard software products from all main publishers (e.g. Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, SAP, Symantec, Autodesk, etc.) 30% to 80% cheaper than their initial values.
This business is legal since the European Court of Justice legalised resale of software unused licences on the secondary market in all EU countries on July 3rd 2012. The ECoJ wanted to generate a new opportunity for European firms by reducing their software budget.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

Objectives
Our main objectives were to create two new innovative products and services for our clients and European ecosystem:
1/ The creation of an internal trading system for major accounts willing to exchange their unused licences (over-licensing) between their various branches, agencies, etc.
2/ The creation of the first quotation system in order to become the second-hand software licences global pricing reference.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

Main results
During the program duration, Softcorner developed a new marketplace with innovative features. This new platform is the basics of the internal trading system for major accounts.
Moreover, Softcorner reached the result to create the 1st quotation & pricing system (the “QUOTUS”, QUOTation for Used Software) for the 2nd hand software market. Now we have the unique database and automatic quotation system for all professional software licences.
