    TEXINTEL TALKS EPISODE 146 SECURING THE FUTURE OF CREATIVE PRODUCTION WITH NEDGRAPHICS AND 10DUKE

    n this episode, host Debbie McKeegan is joined by Frank Maeder, President of NedGraphics, and Neil Fenton, CEO of 10Duke, to explore how creative production can finally move beyond legacy hardware dongles and static license keys. They unpack why licensing became one of NedGraphics’ biggest pain points—from disruptive renewals and downtime to the chaos of remote work during COVID—and how a strategic shift to identity‑based, user‑centric licensing is transforming the day‑to‑day experience for designers and production teams worldwide. The conversation dives into the build‑vs‑buy dilemma, why outsourcing licensing to specialists can unlock focus and speed, and how hybrid desktop/cloud models support global, always‑on workflows—even in low‑connectivity environments. Frank and Neil also highlight the security and business benefits of knowing who is actually using your software, as well as the often overlooked sustainability impact of retiring millions of physical dongles and their global shipping footprint. If you’re looking to future‑proof your software delivery, reduce friction for your users, and strengthen both resilience and sustainability, this episode is packed with practical insight and real‑world examples.
