Case Study: a Fortune 100 energy company achieves 10x ROI in 6 months with Open iT license metering

Fortune 100 Energy Company Gains a Ten-Fold ROI Through License Cost Savings in Less than 6 Months

Fortune 100 Energy Company, a large integrated energy company with nearly 30,000 employees across more than 30 countries, needed a better way to manage increasingly expensive software licenses used at research and production sites. Its IT asset managers struggled to collect usage data and create reports manually, especially after a merger increased the need to eliminate duplicate software, renegotiate contracts, and align IT spending with business goals. Open iT was selected over other options and an in-house build because of its flexible, detailed, and easy-to-use reporting.

Open iT implemented LicenseAnalyzer2020 Level 1, integrating Active Directory data and deploying the software across nine regional sites to give managers and executives direct access to software usage reports. With Open iT, the company renegotiated vendor agreements using real usage data, eliminated unused licenses, and optimized IT resources, achieving a ten-fold ROI in less than six months.
