Case Study: Dynetics achieves 2800% ROI and $150K in software savings with OpenLM

Saved ~ $150 000 on SOLIDWORKS MCAD Well over 2800% ROI

Dynetics, a defense and space engineering company, needed a better way to manage complex CAD/CAE licensing across its teams. Before working with OpenLM, it relied on users reporting license issues manually, which made it difficult to track usage, justify standalone seats, and avoid unnecessary software costs for tools such as SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS, 3DEXPERIENCE V6, and IBM DOORS.

OpenLM provided license monitoring and reporting, including heat map usage reports and denial tracking, giving Dynetics clear visibility into actual software demand. With OpenLM, Dynetics added about 20 SOLIDWORKS MCAD network seats while estimating it avoided purchasing at least 30 more, translating to roughly $150,000 in savings on SOLIDWORKS alone and an estimated ROI of more than 2800%; Dynetics also reported responsive support and has recommended OpenLM to others.
