What Clients Say:

Open iT Software has helped us manage costs as we expand the business, supporting and supplying the needs of our highest producers. “We could not have done this without a tool like Open iT LicenseAnalyzer. It meters usage 24/7, always hard at work for us, analyzing and providing data for optimizing our software resources, even as we reduce or expand our activity levels. This is not a once a year job!”

Dan Shearer, Manager Technology Enhancement, Burlington Resources

The ability to view our utilization rates and share this information with our administrators has brought our users a greater awareness of waste. Initially, our administrators were given the task of reducing and eliminating unnecessary licenses, but recently users have been trying to take on this responsibility themselves.

Mr. Dai Matsubara, Chief of Global Information Systems HQ Engineering Systems Department, Nissan

Open iT LicenseAnalyzer has allowed us to monitor license usage and remove dormant licenses. This makes our license usage more efficient and reduces the need to purchase additional licenses.

Dan Skantze, Senior Engineer Information Management, Norsk Hydro ASA
