Case Study: a major commodities company achieves $639,000 in software savings with Open iT

Major Commodities Company Seamlessly Manages a Critical Software Conversion through Detailed Usage Reports

a major commodities company worked with Open iT to reduce IT costs without disrupting geoscience and engineering users who depended on expensive technical software. The company needed better visibility into license availability and usage, as users were being denied access at peak times and the IT team lacked data to know when more licenses were truly needed.

Open iT implemented LicenseAnalyzer2020 Level 1 and later LicenseAnalyzer2020 Level 3 to track usage, identify power users, and automatically harvest inactive licenses without interrupting work. Open iT helped the company manage a critical software conversion and optimize a mix of perpetual and pay-per-use licenses, with one product alone delivering an estimated $639,000 in savings and additional reductions expected as more applications are optimized.
