A Simpler Way to Evolve with Illumina Software
For over 15 years, customers have been using Illumina software to generate insights from genomic data. Over the years, we have added transformational capabilities, from award-winning secondary analysis with DRAGEN to helping support rare disease research with Emedgene.
However, as Illumina expanded, and the value our customers realized from our software grew, we also introduced complexity that increased the effort associated with forecasting usage across many separate subscriptions.
We’re simplifying our software consumption structure to better align with how you recognize value. You no longer have to commit upfront to get started. You’ll have more visibility into how you’re using our software, with the simplicity of a single currency. Our usage-based model scales with you, so you only pay for the value you realize. And when you’re ready to commit, we commit more to you with greater discounts.
What This Means for You
No platform access fee. You pay only for the software you use and the support level you choose.
One currency across all products. A single credit, the Illumina BioInsight Credit (BIC), replaces iCredits and covers usage across all Illumina software. Existing iCredit balances convert 1:1 automatically.
One platform. BaseSpace, DRAGEN, Emedgene, Connected Insights, Connected Multiomics, and more are coming together under the Illumina BioInsight Platform. One login. One balance. One support plan.
Savings that span your entire portfolio. Commit to a Savings Plan and earn a single discount that applies across every product you use. The more you grow, the more you save.
Self-service sign-up. Get started directly from the web. No quote required. Try the full platform free for 30 days.
Support aligned to your needs. Choose from three tiers (Basic, Enhanced, Premium) based on your operational requirements, not which subscription you happen to have.
What You Need to Know
Your current subscription is honored. Nothing changes mid-contract. At renewal, you’ll transition to the new model and choose your support tier.
Your iCredit balance converts automatically. 1:1 to BIC. No action required. Nothing is lost.
Your workflows are unaffected. No changes to APIs. Backwards compatibility maintained.
You’ll be prompted to update your password. We’re unifying to one password across all your domains. Non-SSO users will set a new password on first login.
