Good Luck :) Entrust Technologies to Lease Software to Compete With VeriSign San Jose, California, Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Entrust Technologies Inc., a maker of security software, said it would start leasing its products to compete more closely with rival VeriSign Inc. VeriSign and Entrust both make software used to issue and manage computerized IDs, known as digital certificates. Entrust previously only sold its products to companies that used their internal technical staff to manage the software, while VeriSign leased its software and managed it for customers. Entrust said it will continue to sell its software and also will give customers the option of leasing the products. The Plano, Texas-based company is leasing space in a security computer data center from First Data Corp. to store information for customers who decide to lease the software. Entrust will start leasing its software by the end of March, Chief Executive John Ryan said. ``We've become totally agnostic as to whether the customer wants to outsource the whole thing or run it internally,' Ryan said at the RSA Security Conference in San Jose, California. Ryan said Entrust also will manage software for customers who want to purchase it. Entrust shares have climbed 77 percent since Dec. 1, while VeriSign has doubled in the same period
