Subscriptions. It's Not Only for Hosted Applications

We know that one of the big draws for software as a services, is that you don't have to pay for the software up front. You pay a monthly fee, per user, and in most cases use as much of the software you want. Every time the software is updated - your version is automatically updated. When there's a new feature - you get that new feature. Traditional software has not normally followed.
Sure you get upgraded discounts, but that's about it. Of course Microsoft has had a subscription license program for years it's been one of the few vendors to do so.

At face value, if you buy the services offered in this plan "off the shelf" you are definitely saving money with the subscription model.
Software vendors want to ensure a steady stream of revenue and one way to do it is with subscriptions. Let's look at the Microsoft Office example. Many people are still using version 2003 or older version of Microsoft Office. Why? People, like me, buy it and can keep using it forever no need to upgrade. However, with subscriptions, users have the latest versions and pay an annual fee for it.
If your business lives on ACT! it makes sense to seriously consider subscribing to ACT!
