      cloud hosting and compute resources allocated per customer.
    variables:
      - User seat count
      - Module selection (metrology, quality, production, engineering)
      - Cloud compute and storage (Azure)
      - Number of API integrations / connected applications
      - Support tier

optimization:
  - tip: Negotiate enterprise agreements that include API access rights explicitly
    detail: >-
      Hexagon's enterprise contracts may or may not include developer portal
      and API access. Ensure API access, rate limit quotas, and developer
      sandbox environments are scoped into the contract before signing.
  - tip: Leverage Nexus sandbox environments for development before production use
    detail: >-
      Hexagon Nexus Developer Portal provides sandbox environments to test
      integrations without incurring production API usage costs. Use sandbox
      extensively during development to avoid unexpected production charges.
  - tip: Monitor API usage via Application Gateway analytics
    detail: >-
      The Nexus Application Gateway logs and provides analytics on API usage.
      Use these metrics to track consumption against contracted quotas and
      forecast future usage to inform renewal negotiations.
  - tip: Bundle multiple Hexagon products for volume pricing
    detail: >-
      Hexagon offers integrated suites spanning metrology, EAM, SDx, and Nexus.
      Consolidating purchases with a single Hexagon enterprise agreement often
      yields better pricing than purchasing products individually.
