INFORMIX-Assurance
INFORMIX-Assurance provides the baseline services you require to maintain your investment in Informix technology.

We Take Your Investment Seriously

An investment in information management technology is a significant one. Because the technology, and your environment, change over time, it's important to make sure you have cost-effective access to the latest, most advanced versions of the software you've purchased.

That's where INFORMIX-Assurance comes in. INFORMIX-Assurance provides baseline services that enable you to move to the latest computing technology and stay successful without having to pay for services you don't need.

Assurance is an insurance policy designed for users of either Informix development or runtime products. This service allows you to obtain the latest release of your Informix software. It also allows you to choose when to upgrade to new product features at considerable savings.

Receive Updates or Upgrades*

Staying current with technology means different things to different people. Some customers only want updates to maintenance and enhancement releases as they become available. These are included with Assurance upon request.

Others need upgrades that provide feature modifications and additional functionality. We offer upgrades to major releases at preferential pricing. Either way, this program provides an easy migration path to the latest releases for your Informix products.

Trade Up to Leverage Your Investment

With Assurance, you not only maintain your software investment, but you can leverage it as well. Our trade-up option provides a cost-effective migration path for customers wanting to change or expand their information technology environment.

Whether you're upgrading your hardware or increasing the number of users on your system, you can leverage the value of your existing software and maintenance. Use it towards the purchase of a new product license (of the same version) and maintenance agreement for your new environment.*

We Take Your Investment Seriously

Choose INFORMIX-Assurance today for your runtime or development product licenses. For customers who want to maintain their investment in computing technology, but have a stable operating environment and in-house support expertise, it just makes sense.
