Case Study: PZFlex Cloud achieves faster, lower-cost SaaS delivery with CliQr CloudCenter

Cut Costs and Simplify Licensing by SaaS-Enabling PZFlex

PZFlex Cloud, a Weidlinger software solution for simulation and modeling, needed to move beyond expensive desktop hardware and a dongle-based licensing model that slowed adoption and limited ROI. CliQr’s CloudCenter platform was brought in to SaaS-enable the product and help PZFlex access cloud infrastructure more flexibly.

CliQr implemented a cloud migration and management solution that supported deployment across public, private, or physical clouds, with multi-tenant provisioning, metering, billing, and branding customization. The result was a record-time migration: PZFlex was running in the cloud in less than two weeks, and CloudCenter benchmarked the best price-performance cloud within hours. Customers gained browser-based access, simpler licensing, and virtually unlimited compute capacity, cutting simulation turnaround from days to hours and reducing the need for Weidlinger’s costly datacenter.
