OpeniT is a software company that provides usage metering and optimization tools. Its software monitors software and hardware usage across organizations to answer questions about license utilization and optimization opportunities. This allows customers to identify unused licenses and hardware resources that can be reallocated, renegotiated, or avoided on renewal to achieve ongoing cost savings. OpeniT collects data from various sources, provides reporting and analytics, and uses rule-based frameworks to help automatically reclaim inactive licenses and optimize asset usage.

17. Automatically Reclaiming of Inactive Licenses
• Customer started in one
location to free up software
licenses checked out, but
not in use. Weekly success
rate was between 20 - 30
license sessions.
• After implementing Open iT
full scale, and with
automated processes,
success rate climbed to
over 300 license sessions
every week (until holidays).

• Business needs change
• Technology innovation
• Mergers and Acquisitions
• Projects gets initial funding, but
small funds for M&S
• Minimum investment in Training

• Product Champions change their
positions
• Decentralized/Centralized

Here is another story: Burlington Resources saved $5 million on software costs in two years – 36% reduction the first year and an additional 21% the second year.In addition they received an improved mix of software to better support their business. They measured the business value to be 20 times higher than the cost savings.
Let me tell a simple customer story: They knew what they had bought: The green capacity line shows you that: 300 concurrent user licenses of Magic Earth.Blue line shows how many licenses had been checked out, and the Red line shows how many licenses were actively in use after having been checked out. This was a hosted environment.This customer saved 5,75M in license costs.
So what do we do ? Why are we unique?In order to explain this to you – we have developed a magic quadrant for Software Usage Metering and Optimization...

Less total usage during the Holiday season… (the drop in licenses that are freed up by the end of this graph is due to holiday season.)
