CGI
How a leading Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) software vendor turned piracy losses into over 10% revenue recovery.
The Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) software industry is highly vulnerable to software piracy. This is due to several key factors including:
- High cost of CGI software
- Widespread availability of cracks
- A decentralized user base
- Offline and legacy version use
- Misuse of educational licenses
From anecdotes of piracy to hard evidence
When a world leader in CGI software received anecdotal information about widespread piracy of their software they searched for a compliance solution. They were told about Cylynt and approached us.
The challenges were widespread use of legacy and offline cracked versions of their software leading to revenue loss. They also wanted expertise in establishing a robust compliance programme.
We implemented SmartFlow On Prem which works around air-gapped and offline usage to give CGI software vendors accurate data on usage. We also advised on processes to support and enhance their internal compliance programme using the SmartFlow CRM
- Recovery of over 10% of lost revenue in the first year
- Established a robust compliance programme
- Levelled the playing field for paying customers
“The advice I would give to other companies experiencing unlicensed usage issues is that choosing SmartFlow is a good idea.”
