Standardizing on Prolog Software Just Got Easier with Enterprise Pack Pricing
Prolog Enterprise Packs allow for shared or pooled licenses across a fluctuating base of users. Organizations who are confident in the growth of their user base, and who need to accommodate variable project team sizes can benefit from Prolog Enterprise Packs. By procuring a larger enterprise pack license upfront, customers can gain lower per unit license cost over time, as well as flexibility in managing personnel changes and increasing construction project volume.
