Case Study: Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates achieves over $50,000 in savings with OpenLM

Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. - Customer Case Study

Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) is a global engineering firm with more than 600 professionals and 28 locations that needed better control over expensive software licenses for tools like Abaqus, AutoCAD, MathCAD, and Siemens PLM. Its existing license management approach was not sufficient, and the company was struggling with license squatting, tracking, and user education, especially when interns and busy project teams left applications open and wasted costly licenses.

WJE chose OpenLM because it could manage multiple license systems and also handle products outside traditional license managers. With help from OpenLM’s support team, WJE implemented the solution and improved visibility, reporting, self-service, and user awareness around license use. The result was better license availability, faster response to issues, and measurable savings, including an estimated ROI of $15,000 in year 1 and $35,000 in year 2, with over $50,000 saved in the first two years.
