Case Study: a Fortune 500 industrial conglomerate cuts license costs by 30% with Open iT

Fortune 500 Industrial Conglomerate Identifies Usage Patterns and Cuts License Costs by 30%

a Fortune 500 industrial conglomerate wanted a better way to understand how its IT resources and database software were being used across multiple sites worldwide. It worked with Open iT and its LicenseAnalyzer2020 Level 1 to replace estimate-based license agreements with actual usage data.

Open iT implemented software metering and reporting to track usage across locations and platforms, identify user trends, and document real demand for negotiations. As a result, the company right-sized its licenses, matched entitlements to users, consolidated purchases for enterprise discounts, and cut license costs by 30%.
