Portfolio License Agreement

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced that Barclays, one of the world`s largest transatlantic consumer and wholesale banks, has signed a strategic agreement as a portfolio licensing (PLA) customer, enabling it to realize significant savings through cutting-edge technology to transform its digital infrastructure. Broadcom PLA is a new offering designed to reduce complexity while providing maximum choice and flexibility for enterprise customers looking for a simplified way to purchase, deploy and manage their digital enterprise software solutions. Barclays selected PLA to support a multi-year, cross-organizational initiative to streamline IT operations while reducing complexity and cost to accelerate the time to market for value-added customer applications. Traditionally, enterprise software is purchased and consumed either as a one-time, static purchase by the customer on a perpetual license or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) basis. Although both approaches have been used for several years, they present some challenges that hinder the progress of the company and stifle innovation, such as. B, the inability to deploy new technologies with minimal risk and the lack of consolidation of IT resources. For this reason, modern businesses are increasingly looking for Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS) models and flexible consumption models to evolve in today`s highly competitive market. Recent studies also show that companies are using XaaS to support digital transformation initiatives and adopt agile practices, accelerating the faster development cycles that lead to continuous innovation.

According to a 2018 report published by Deloitte Insights, “. Eight out of 10 companies say XaaS gives them faster access to the latest technologies and innovative capabilities. 1 Patent Portfolio License 1394 grants rights to patents (listed in Appendix 1) that are essential to Standard 1394 (IEEE 1394-1995, IEEE P1394a (June 30, 1999), IEC 61883-1, and IEEE P1394b (Project 0.75, August 10, 1999).
