CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) software refers to software that you purchase upfront for the purpose of long-term use or ownership. This could include enterprise software or business applications used to increase productivity and efficiency. It can also include software used to develop new products or services. In contrast, OPEX (Operating Expenditure) software refers to ongoing subscription-based services and/or cloud-hosted software solutions. With OPEX, you pay only for what you need and when you need it, allowing companies to access the software they need without having to make a large upfront investment. Both CAPEX and OPEX have their advantages and disadvantages, depending on the specific needs of your organisation – but whichever way you go, you can be sure your business will benefit!
