Lanner Group's Witness Reprise Licensing System Saves Time And Cost For License Fulfillment Process: Reprise Licensing Manager included as standard in release of WITNESS Power with Ease 2.01

HOUSTON, TX, August 25, 2010

Lanner Group, the business process improvement and simulation software specialist has included Reprise Licensing Manager as standard for all users within its latest release of WITNESS Power with Ease 2.01. It follows the successful introduction of WITNESS software incorporating flexible license fulfillment with Ford Motor Company.

The latest release of WITNESS Power with Ease 2.01 includes a number of enhancements to the award-winning WITNESS system, and in partnership with Reprise Software, Inc. it now includes Reprise License Manager (RLM) networking licensing.

Lanner Group's initial deployment of its WITNESS program integrating RLM was with Ford Motor Company. The system proved adaptable and reliable and has led to the as standard inclusion of the licensing mechanism in the latest issue of WITNESS.

The incorporation of RLM into WITNESS simulation software allows licenses to be easily booked out from a network license on to a portable computer or laptop providing the flexibility to work off the network as needed.

RLM is available for all network installations of WITNESS and for hardware locked stand-alone installations. Further advantages of this new system are options for automatic web activation of licensing, making this process quicker and easier.

"We're delighted with the simplicity and agility of the Reprise Licensing system," says Lanner Group director of business development, Americas, Mandy Tague. She continues, "By integrating Reprise Licensing into WITNESS simulation software, Lanner Group is offering the market a uniquely agile and flexible system that gives a significant reduction in cost and time within the license fulfillment process.

"Reprise License Manager increases end-user customer satisfaction through the use of easy-to -implement, flexible license terms automatically included with software shipped to end users," she concludes.

"Lanner Group's license management requirements are similar to those of other companies in the simulation and modeling software industry, demanding a robust, powerful, yet affordable license manager," stated Matt Christiano, CEO of Reprise Software. "We are proud that Lanner Group recognizes the flexibility, simplicity, power and value of the Reprise License Manager and look forward to continuing a long and mutually beneficial relationship between the two companies."

Lanner Group also plans to roll out RLM with its law enforcement simulation, PRISM, and pharmaceutical simulation, Px-SIM, range of products in the near future.

The release of WITNESS Power with Ease 2.01 is part of a series of updates to improve the flexibility, power and ease-of-use of WITNESS software. Development objectives are set with the end user in mind, by consulting directly with WITNESS customers through client service reviews, site visits, and other informal conversations about what improvements customers would most like to see in the software.

Over the past two years Lanner Group's development team has added built-in Quick 3D capability to WITNESS software as well as the ability to track and optimize energy consumption along with a host of other improvements to enhance the user's experience of WITNESS. This momentum continues with the release of WITNESS Power with Ease 3.0 later this year.
