Purchasing a perpetual license<\/strong> commits a new system to aging over the years, neglecting technological advances that are increasingly changing. In previous decades, the desired outcome was for the software to serve for years, just like the equipment being controlled. However, software depends on operating systems that evolve rapidly, which causes them to become unmaintainable and un-upgradeable. <\/p>\n

When we proceed to update a system<\/strong>, ideas for improving our system always arise, such as: more thin clients, more signals to integrate, visibility from the cloud, or any of the new functionalities<\/strong> that may fit. However, many actions of this type are not executed precisely because of what? The type of license we have acquired, the traditional one, which forces us to maintain what we have purchased forever.<\/p>\n

The pace of industrial development<\/strong> is evolving rapidly, mechanics are increasingly linked to electronics, electronics are connecting, and everything that connects evolves quickly, forcing the software to advance more rapidly, anticipating changes in the installation. Competition in the industry<\/strong> is evolving to obtain improved production by taking advantage of technological advances, another reason not to freeze your installation and evaluate a change to a subscription mode for your control software. <\/p>\n

The problem of change, how do I explain to my company that we need a change of mentality when we think about software licenses?<\/strong> To do this, it is advisable to reflect on each of the following points:<\/p>\n

1.<\/span> Subscription allows you to start quickly, with a low initial investment<\/h2>\n

Subscription licenses allow the initial investment to be much lower, with sufficient clients and tags according to the subscription offer for AVEVA Operations Control<\/strong> selected. With multiple development environments to choose from, it is possible to start immediately, with the freedom to change software, include as many tags as necessary, add operators, or change architectures at any time. <\/p>\n

2.<\/span> Greater freedom to experiment and learn about new technologies from the beginning<\/h2>\n

Subscription options allow you to keep up with the pace of technology. New equipment can be added, connected to new protocols, or meet new regulatory requirements or industry standards. When this is related to the power of unlimited tags, cloud tools, or the possibility of choosing between multiple software solutions, a subscription model allows the power to innovate, experiment with architectures, and implement new technologies without the risk of over-investing. <\/p>\n

3.<\/span> Always compatible (and more secure) operations software<\/h2>\n

It was only a matter of time before malicious software Ransomware and Malware<\/strong> targeted operations control software. Having systems that depend on obsolete or unsupported operating systems and that integrate with unsupported software is no longer permitted for security reasons. Subscription models eliminate these risks by ensuring that you always have the latest version of your operations control software, with all the patches and security updates that this implies. There is no longer any excuse for having to be with a vulnerable system, just because it is cheaper to wait for nothing to happen and not have to buy an updated version. <\/p>\n

4.<\/span> Reduced dependence on stagnant knowledge<\/h2>\n

This subscription model promotes the creation of a culture of innovation within the company, which allows employees to be agile and evolve at the pace of technology, without stagnating in an old technology, and always up to the circumstances.<\/p>\n

5.<\/span> No more surprise costs for operations control software<\/h2>\n

The control software<\/strong> works and it is not necessary to change it, but suddenly, an unexpected change in regulations forces modifications to be made, due to cybersecurity<\/strong> or because they request a value from our installation that we did not have, or because we must send information to the cloud… Then, if we had not foreseen it years ago, most likely not, we must make a change of technology in our software<\/strong> with the consequent economic cost. With the subscription model, you will not have to worry about anything other than developing the changes, since the subscription model covers precisely this, always being up to date with the handicap of knowing how much the fee will cost, without unforeseen events. <\/p>\n

Ready for FLEX Software Subscription Solutions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Operations Control has a new offer that allows you to adapt your control software to current and future needs, innovate, and grow effortlessly.<\/p>\n

The new AVEVA Flex subscription, AVEVA Operations Control,<\/strong> is the next step to make our portfolio available through subscription in a simplified way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

AVEVA Operations Control allows the Edge to Enterprise strategy<\/strong>, valid for any size of company, to be ideal for organizations that seek to improve in the long term rather than settle for the cheapest software.<\/p>\n

AVEVA Operations Control is the easiest way to ensure that data moves smoothly along the digital thread from the Edge, starting with tools like Edge Management<\/strong> for AVEVA Edge, to the enterprise level, taking the data to the cloud using tools like AVEVA Insight. AVEVA Operations Control gives you a full access pass to the integrated software you will need at every stage of operations. <\/p>\n

AVEVA Operations Control Supervisory Edition<\/strong> has everything you need for SCADA<\/strong> systems to add context to data, making it easier for work teams to make agile and informed decisions.<\/p>\n

Once the plants are automated, with the operations integrated from the Edge to the enterprise<\/strong>, it is time to start with the Enterprise edition of Operations Control<\/strong>, which will guarantee everything necessary to exploit the data with the knowledge of the entire company.<\/p>\n
