Revulytics (formerly V.I. Labs) is a privately held business intelligence company headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States. The company acquired Trackerbird Software Analytics, based in Malta, and re-branded on November 15, 2016.[1] Revulytics provides business-to-business solutions to independent software vendors for software usage and software compliance reporting.

Revulytics clients operate in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and other software spaces.

History and Products

Revulytics was founded in 2002 around interest in a software anti-piracy product. It then developed and introduced a different product in 2008 (originally named CodeArmor Intelligence) to report on the unlicensed use of client software; this product is now called Revulytics Compliance Intelligence, or RCI. RCI offers client companies the insight to understand their software piracy, and optionally enables conversion of unlicensed users into paying customers. Since 2010, Revulytics has supported its customers’ compliance programs in generating more than $2.1 billion in new revenue.[2] The RCI dashboard interface is built on Salesforce.

With the acquisition of Trackerbird Software Analytics in 2016,[3] Revulytics expanded its offerings.[4]
