\n Initial Situation &<\/span>
Problem Statement<\/span>
\n<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

As part of the 2025 Chamber of Commerce elections, Canon Austria was commissioned by four Chambers of Commerce to digitize the ballots and count them using software. The project was highly sensitive both politically and in terms of media attention: On election day, approximately 30,000 ballots per location had to be digitally captured without errors and on time so that the results could be published live on radio and television in a timely manner. The biggest challenges were the extreme time pressure, the requirement for absolute reliability, and the exceptionally high number of software licenses needed for a single day due to the required computing power. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n The<\/span> Solution<\/span>
\n<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

To procure the necessary licenses for this project \u2013 which went beyond day-to-day operations \u2013 as cost-effectively as possible and to minimize licensing risks, Canon turned to LYYNX for specialized licensing consulting. Working closely with Canon, LYYNX developed several robust licensing strategies with transparent cost models within a short period of time. Despite the tight deadline, these strategies were finalized through several rounds of consultation and served as the basis for the actual procurement. The solution also included detailed documentation to ensure transparency in licensing costs and compliance. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
