Software inevitably becomes obsolete as new features are required and new software versions are constantly released. For software producers, ensuring that user data can be usable across software versions places constraints on innovation and increases demand on software development effort and resources.
INTACT Digital Assurance supports software producers and administrators in managing the release and withdrawal of software from primary use. It includes hosting of software versions to provide a full catalogue of released products. Each software release is fully configured and ready for use. The installations are maintained and remain functional beyond the standard software support, for as long as software users need it. Software producers have a choice of different INTACT Digital Assurance plans, depending on their approach to managing licenses and support services. Intact Digital alleviates the burden of backward compatibility, reduces customer services costs, and frees up resources for innovation.
