Case Study: Avio Aerospace achieves 47% IT cost reduction with Open iT

Automating Licensing Optimization Helps Avio Achieve a 40% Reduction in Yearly IT Costs

Avio Aerospace, a global leader in the aerospace industry with 5,000 employees, needed a better way to measure software usage as the company grew. Its existing commercial tracking solution could not provide the flexible analysis and factual license-use data needed to manage costs and support multiple license managers, so it turned to Open iT and its LicenseAnalyzer2020 and ComputeAnalyzer products.

Open iT implemented LicenseAnalyzer2020 Level 1 and Level 3 along with ComputeAnalyzer across multiple license servers, PCs, and workstations to meter software and hardware usage and identify active and inactive applications. The solution helped Avio reclaim licenses, improve availability, and optimize license counts, resulting in a documented 40% reduction in yearly IT costs in the first phase and a total 47% reduction in annual software and IT costs overall, with enough savings to pay for the Open iT software and still retain half of the savings.
