STEM licensing options

Various packages are available according to the depth of analysis required, and the desired level of team engagement, dissemination of results and re-use of models. Fixed-term and perpetual licences are available.

An annual licence includes maintenance services of technical support and software upgrades. These are also included in the first year of a perpetual licence, and then subject to annual renewal at 15% of the initial licence fee. Full commercial terms are available upon request.

Analysys issues one major software update each year, most recently STEM version 7.1. We also issue maintenance releases from time to time when problems of core functionality are identified and resolved.

Ambition STEM
(A-STEM)

A quick and easy business-case tool, an entry-level package which delivers the basic proposition of creating business logic so that you can focus on the technical and financial drivers for a network business.

A-STEM includes the usual STEM Editor and Results applications, with links to Excel, and the complete set of telecoms features, from revenues for services to costs from resources. A-STEM calculates one consistent set of results for up to 50 elements per model, including collection results and full financial outputs.

Conventional STEM
(C-STEM)

A professional modelling package with user-definable inputs and formulae, multi-dimensional scenario management, integrated sensitivity analysis, shorter time periods, template (geographical) replication and resource-level breakdown of allocated costs.

The software is licensed to run on a specific number of desktops, and authorised with a security key (or 'dongle'). The user has full flexibility to create and run models of arbitrary structure.

Distributable STEM
(D-STEM)

A model publisher which can create 'run-time' models which may be distributed to third parties. A run-time model has a fixed structure and may be distributed to run on keyless machines with varying input assumptions, allowing other teams to run their own sensitivities through a business model, while expert modellers retain control over model structure.

Enterprise STEM
(eSTEM)

A Web technology for presenting models which avoids the need for end-users to install or learn new software. A link in an email can lead directly to a customised presentation of key input parameters and any combination of dynamically updated results in a single screen. This can be exploited as an internal distribution mechanism (intranet), and as a platform for Web-based marketing via the Internet.
