The Future is Now

Effortless, Agile, and Responsive

Performance gains for you and your team

Optimise the resources you have

Provide the team with the licences they require to work as efficiently as possible.

Reduce costs

Now you can access modules for drainage design, road marking, traffic sign design, vehicle path analysis and BIM, and you could reduce the annual maintenance you pay to other suppliers.

BIM Compliance

Access to the PDS BIM tools to deliver the BIM outputs clients require.

No need to wait for a licence to be available

The new pricing model means that all engineers can have access to licences on demand.

Access all of the modules you need

The new subscription bundles mean that the extra packages you would have liked but could not justify, could now be available at little extra cost.

BIM Outputs without changing your workflow

The new PDS BIM tools allow you to design as usual, but deliver BIM outputs as required.

Network licencing as standard

The new subscription model includes a new licence manager hosted by Causeway. All licences will therefore be networked, simplifying deployment and ensuring optimisation.

No more dongles

The new licence manager will replace dongles, the challenges surrounding keeping track of these and the cost incurred if lost.

Contract alignment and Licence optimisation

When switching to subscription, all licences will have a common renewal date, reducing administration.

• What is changing?
  • The way that Causeway licenses its PDS software. Causeway will now provide its software on a subscription basis.
• Why is it changing?
  • We have listened to you, our customer. The industry you work within is becoming more challenging with a constant pressure to do more for less, and the current licence model could be cost prohibitive and inflexible with a host of options and modules.
• What is the difference?
  • The multiple PDS modules have been combined into a simplified licence with no ‘Initial Licence Fee’ and ‘Annual Licence Fee’, just a single annual subscription fee.
• What are the benefits to the customer?
  • The unique selling point of PDS is the range of integrated modules providing solutions for ground modelling, roads and drainage, vehicle path analysis, traffics signs, markings and BIM outputs.
    
    Historically, customers rarely purchase the full PDS suite, as the cost has been difficult to justify. Typically, customers have purchased just the modules that they have an immediate pain point need for – more than often overlooking the potential of the full suite.
    
    For new customers, purchasing via the bundle/subscription method, the initial outlay is significantly reduced, offering an affordable end-to-end solution. Essentially, the customer gets ‘more for less’.
    
    Adding new licences in the future is more affordable – future proofing the investment.
• How does this affect you as an existing customer?
  • Causeway are offering existing customers the chance to switch over to this new model. We will be running an ‘early adopter’ offer, giving our existing customers the opportunity to switch over, and supply them with sufficient licences so that they may never need to buy an additional licence ever again!
    
    We will unlock the full potential of PDS as well as the other modules that you currently do not benefit from, with an extremely affordable and highly compelling offer.
