IRiS is the fastest way to build and scale a Data Vault. Built by Data Vault experts and trusted by enterprises, IRiS extends your cloud data platform with simple and reliable Data Vault code generation.
IRiS streamlines the delivery of Data Vault 2 architectures on Azure, AWS and other cloud platforms. It is easy to use and eliminates manual scripting, automates code generation, and integrates with your existing tools—allowing you to move faster, reduce errors, and deliver lasting value.
If you are considering adopting IRiS to speed up Data Vault delivery, you might be wondering how licensing and pricing works.
When evaluating a new tool, it is important to understand how licensing works. Licensing models can have a big impact on both the total cost of ownership and how well a tool fits your organisation’s needs. The right model ensures you only pay for the value you receive, while the wrong one can create unnecessary costs or limit flexibility. Knowing how IRiS licensing works upfront helps you plan with confidence.
IRiS licensing is refreshingly simple. The licensing model has been designed to be flexible, predictable, and cost-effective for organisations of all sizes.
IRiS is available on a subscription basis, with pricing based on a cost per seat/license. There are no hidden platform or usage fees—just straightforward licensing for the users who need it.
Another key benefit is flexibility: there are no minimum seat numbers. You only pay for the seats you need, when you need them.
Because IRiS is a development tool, not a modelling or platform tool, most organisations will not need a license for every Data Vault practitioner.
Licenses are only required for those responsible for Data Vault code generation. Other roles—such as business analysts, data modelers, or data consumers—can continue to work with the outputs without needing their own IRiS seat.
This approach keeps licensing costs aligned to value, ensuring you are only investing where IRiS directly accelerates your work.
The number of licenses required depends on the size and structure of your data team. Typically, this is fewer than the total number of Data Vault users in your organisation.
A good starting point is to identify the team members actively responsible for building and generating code within your Data Vault environment. These are the people who will benefit most from IRiS—and the ones who will need seats.
For many organisations, this makes IRiS an extremely cost-effective solution, delivering significant acceleration and quality improvements without the need for organisation-wide licensing.
Every organisation is different, so the best way to understand your licensing needs is to talk it through with our team. We can help you determine exactly how many seats your project requires and provide a clear picture of pricing.
