Licensed sales have long been common for PC software, but can also be used for custom software. Anyone who purchases a license, has the worldwide claim to use software, while maintaining the intellectual property rights of the developer. Sioux offers this form of participation under the motto 'Laugh together, cry together'. Sioux fully finances the development costs for the software and calculates on the basis of the actual sale of the final product. In that way, you will have clarity about the costs, while sharing the uncertainty about the expected success with Sioux. Important part of this form is to determine the business case. Serious study will be made of the payback period of a proposed development in advance. If it is acceptable, then the license price will be fixed and will be on the bill of materials. In this way, it will be translated into the overall cost price.
Together with Thermo Fisher, Sioux has developed the Phenom, a handy, relatively inexpensive electron microscope that the joint venture companies have developed, produced and sold.
