Case Study: Automation Company improves license usage tracking and cost allocation with OpenLM

Automation Company - Customer Case Study

Automation Company is a large automation software provider with global engineering teams that needed a better way to track license usage across many tools, including Autodesk, Ansys, Mathworks, PTC Creo, and Mentor Graphics. Before OpenLM, they relied on custom in-house solutions for each tool, which made usage tracking tedious and made it difficult for finance to allocate budgets fairly based on actual usage.

OpenLM provided a single centralized tool to track usage across all their software, helping the company standardize reporting, generate Power BI cost reports, and eliminate in-house custom solutions. With OpenLM, Automation Company improved visibility into what tools were being used and how often, supported more accurate cost distribution and renewals, and found the implementation cost-effective enough that the software paid for itself several times over.
