Covered by U.S. Patent # 7,272,582, DataGater, LLC

 

 

A service for developers of software applications

Enabling a radical new way for customers to pay for software use

 

DataGater utilizes GaterBase(r), a new kind of database gateway that controls how client-resident data fields can be used by applications software. Data collection is free but payment is required before analysis can be done.  Users pay a once-per-project fee, based on the size of the project..

For Software Developers:

bullet

Frees up software distribution: no purchase, no subscriptions, no registration, no seat limits, no license keys.

bullet

Simplifies and speeds up development:  No piracy protections, licensing programs, trial-ware or lite versions to create..

bullet

Reduces infrastructure requirements: No servers to support and maintain for SAAS delivery. No subscription programs to set up and manage.

bullet

Provides continuous revenue:  payments come for as long as the software is used. You don't need to rely on upgrades or support services to keep revenues coming.

bullet

Reaches untouched markets: Get revenue from all the tentative or infrequent consumers who balk at committing capital to up-front software purchases or service-subscription commitments.

bullet

Keep your current billing methods. Heavy, committed users and deep-pocketed clients may always prefer a pre-purchased or SAAS version. But create a  GaterWare(r) edition of your application to reach the  customers you aren't able to reach any other way..

bullet

Development materials are free.  The software development kit, use of the DataGater web service and the GaterBase code are free. DataGater gets paid a transaction fee when your clients pay you. Your only cost for adopting DataGater is for your own programming - and we are doing all we can to make that as quick and easy as possible.

For Software Users

bullet

Free software: No up-front fee, no subscriptions to pay for over time.

bullet

Easy installation: No codes, no licensing, no seat limits, no time limits.

bullet

Secure data:  Data and processing never go outside.

bullet

Free data collection:  Add data, review it, edit it for free.

bullet

Fair pricing: Clients pay for the value they receive - for the data they actually decide to use.

The DataGater system is currently in use by the Researchers' FieldKit(tm)  a survey and media testing software application from Rust Research and is working flawlessly there.

We are currently looking for Beta Developers to help us shape the SDK and transaction service and extend it to new application areas. Get a jump on the competition and establish the the first-mover advantage. Please contact lang@datagater.com for more information.
