※ 引述《duer ()》之铭言:
: 推 ankasc:我推abcdefghi讲的,事实上就我所知,CL公司算是有点不屑赚 11/02 21:47
: → ankasc:软体代工的钱的(指软体规格别人提,只负责coding),比较 11/02 21:49
: → ankasc:着重在retail的市场,retail的市场虽然不好打,但是老实说 11/02 21:50
: → ankasc:我倒觉得他们算做得蛮成功的。除此之外,是真的有公司在做 11/02 21:51
: → ankasc:软体代工这一块(非CL公司),软体代工比起自己打市场来讲 11/02 21:51
: → ankasc:,应该算是比较能创造稳定收入或获利比较短期可见的部分 11/02 21:52
: → ankasc:。但CL公司和硬体厂的合作,其实比较像是合作策略而已。 11/02 21:54
: 推 ledia:不知 CL 的营运中, 多少是 retail, 多少是随机 package 的? 11/03 00:09
: 推 LancerYuan:ratail大概占20% 11/03 02:28
: 推 LancerYuan:CL最赚钱的就是软体代工的部分,retail的根本没办法赚. 11/03 02:30
: → LancerYuan:CL是依照客户需求去写(改)软体,就是软体代工. 11/03 02:30
: → LancerYuan:微软和趋势科技等软体公司,是把软体写好了,然後跑去 11/03 02:32
: → LancerYuan:客户那边跟客户说:这是我的软体, 很好很好喔, 你要不要 11/03 02:32
: → LancerYuan:买. 本质上我觉得不是软体代工的意思. 11/03 02:33
: 推 abcdefghi:和机器一起卖叫代工,那nb附Windows,pccilin为何不是代工 11/03 06:45
在 wiki 上看到有人对 Software OEM 做了解释,
这样定义的话,
随机版的软体 (Cyberlink,Windows,pccilin), 确实都算是 OEM,
不过, 对照分工清楚,生产成本考量高的硬体产业,
对从事 Software OEM 的厂商而言, 比较像是单纯的商业手法.

Software
OEM, when used to describe software, is used to differentiate that version
of the software which is bundled with other hardware or software from that
same software package sold on its own as a retail package. The packaging
and legal rights that come with the OEM versions of a software package
generally differ from what is provided with the retail versions. The
functionality of the software is sometimes the same, but it is quite common
for the OEM version to be a version with reduced functionality. (For instance
the OEM version of Cyberlink PowerDVD supports two-channel audio but not
multi-channel sound systems. A customer who wishes to play DVDs with
multi-channel sound is required to pay to upgrade to the full version).
The OEM version of a software package may also be limited to be usable only
with the hardware it came with. For instance the Nero burning ROM OEM
software only functions with the same brand burner it is bundled with.
Typically OEM software licenses require the installer to agree to additional
terms to have a valid license. Microsoft requires certain conditions of
distribution and support for its System Builders, which is how it describes
the installers with privileges to use OEM licenses. The requirements
include: automated methods of installation of the product; customization of
the installation to identify the OEM; first level technical support of the
product; application of a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) to the hardware;
and distribution of original media and booklets.
OEM software may be licensed under conditions requiring that it be sold with
computer hardware. Such conditions have been ruled null and void by the
courts of some countries, such as Germany. In those countries where they
are deemed binding, to avoid contravening the conditions while passing OEM
software savings on to end users, some retailers will sell OEM software
with a token hardware device of small cost, such as an obsolete motherboard,
single SIMM, or a cable splitter to satisfy the letter of the licensing
agreement. This practice is questionable, and may open the end user to
audits by publishers.
The practice of utilizing OEMs in today's cost competitive environment
falls under the broader category of outsourcing - a popular business
strategy which taps into the original manufacturer's ability to drive
cost out of production of the product through manufacturing economies
of scale; thereby being able to pass on a more competitive purchase price
to the reseller which, in turn, makes each partner in the transaction
more competitive.
