Pegasus offers discount to scrap rival software

Pegasus Software aims to pinch market share from its competitors with its Scrap IT scheme.

The UK initiative offers SMEs a 40% discount on Pegasus Opera II when they trade in competing accounting software. Opera II rivals include the likes of Sage200 and Microsoft Dynamics.

On a five-user, seven-module Opera II Enterprise RSP purchase the scheme could save a customer £3,500, Pegasus claims.

In addition, the vendor is offering a 25% trade-in on competing products for its Pegasus CIS, which is aimed at the construction industry.

Stuart Anderson, operations director at Pegasus Software, said the discount was inspired by the government’s car scrappage scheme.
