Case Study: Devon Energy reduces software spend by 20% with Open iT

Reduces Software Spend By 20% Through License Usage Optimization

Devon Energy, a leading independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company, needed a better way to manage technical application usage and control software costs across its Subsurface Technology Department. Working with Open iT, Devon sought to consolidate usage data from Flexera and non-Flexera license managers into a single dashboard so it could improve visibility, support end users more effectively, and avoid unnecessary IT spending.

Open iT delivered a proof of concept and then LicenseAnalyzer2020 Level 1, enabling Devon Energy to track usage from multiple license managers, generate customized reports, and build live Power BI dashboards from Open iT data. The result was stronger collaboration between IT and stakeholders, better renewal planning, and more realistic software usage decisions, helping Devon cut 20% of its subsurface software budget through usage metering and optimization.
