It is essential for refugees trying to recover their lives and livelihoods in a new job market. And it is just as essential for apprentices, students, or experienced professionals alike. The processes and solutions in our business are getting more and more complex, and sufficient training and qualifications have become the be-all and end-all. Wibu-Systems respects the value of education and training. That is why we are supporting career guidance projects, training our own apprentices, and earmarking a substantial budget for the continuing education of our professionals. Product seminars and training for our staff in Germany and abroad and for our distributors and clients are just another dimension of this. Together, this ensures topquality advice and support and the optimum use of our solutions for your applications. The Internet of Things (IoT) is on everybody’s lips. The analysts at Gartner expect that the world will have 25 billion connected devices by 2020, not counting smartphones, tablets, or regular PCs. Selling software-based functions that your customers want and need and getting paid for them are two elementary tasks for businesses in the IoT. Developers need to offer more value for their customers and establish sustainable business models. CodeMeter can help them with modular licensing, usage monitoring, and license delivery from the cloud. Read more about what’s new with CodeMeter in this issue of KEYnote.
