EasyData Revenue Model: 25+ Years of Stable Pricing Without Surprises | European Data Science Partner

From Startup to Stable Partner

How a small development team in the Netherlands grew into a globally operating and reliable Data Science partner

EasyData Revenue Model
"More than 25 years of stable pricing without surprises - That's our promise for your solution!"

It was 1999 when a small group of developers in the Netherlands harbored an ambitious dream: making Data Science applications accessible to enterprises globally, without the complexity and price fluctuations that characterized the market at that time. What began as a modest development team has today grown into a global player with reliable European solutions in the field of Data Science.

This story is about more than just technology. It's about a fundamentally different approach to what a revenue model should look like - transparent, stable, and fair. While the technology world around us constantly changes, our core philosophy has remained the same:
Competitively priced solutions coupled with friendly implementation rates.

Teamwork and growth
From a small development team to Europe's data science specialist

Why is this story relevant to you? Because in a world full of price increases, license changes, and unclear terms, there are still companies that believe in long-term partnerships. This article shows how our revenue model not only survived but thrived - and why that makes a difference for your organization.

What Makes Our Revenue Model Different

In the early years, like many software companies, we used external SDKs and licenses from major vendors. On paper, this seemed logical - why reinvent the wheel when you can buy proven technology? But practice taught us something different.

The Soccer Metaphor

Imagine a soccer match where the goalposts are moved during the game. With such an unpredictable element, it becomes difficult to score. That's exactly what happens when external vendors raise their prices or change license rules -
you as a customer become the victim of decisions you have no control over.

This experience brought us to a crucial insight: only by developing our own technology can we offer our customers the stability they deserve. That's why we consciously invested in building our own platform and associated technology.

Transparency as Core Value

The result? A revenue model where our customers know exactly what to expect upfront. No surprises, no sudden price increases, no changing terms. We deliberately talk about long-term agreements because stability and predictability form the foundation of successful partnerships.

Cloud vs On-Premise: Flexibility in Your Revenue Model

Recent years have seen a shift in the market. Where companies previously chose on-premise installations by default, the preference now goes to secure cloud solutions. This trend hasn't changed our revenue model, but has enriched it with new possibilities.

On-Premise: For Control

With on-premise software, we use a traditional licensing model with licensed number of users and clearly defined functionality. You're responsible for hardware and local installation, we provide customized support and assistance.
This model is perfect for organizations that want complete control over their data and infrastructure.

Cloud: For Speed

Our cloud services work according to a service model without software license restrictions. We ensure availability, results, and capacity, often at a lower cost than on-premise licenses. This model is ideal for organizations that want to become operational quickly.

Best of Both Worlds

Our revenue model adapts to your situation, not the other way around. Cloud for flexibility, on-premise for control - both with the same transparent terms.
