Open iT
Open iT provides optimization solutions for Information Technology (IT) assets by creating tools for analyzing software usage, metering the use of resources, and sharing its expertise in resource utilization, enabling organizations to increase performance, reduce costs, and support business improvements.
As a software asset management (SAM) solution, it specializes in engineering applications, expanding and covering more software vendors, business and cloud-based apps, and Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms.
Our flagship application, the LicenseAnalyzer ™, increases organizational efficiency and reduces IT costs by up to 70%.
It meters and analyzes the license and software usage of over 6000 applications – license manager-enabled, standalone or SaaS-based – to simulate license models including named-user, local vs global concurrent user, token, and pay-per-use.
LicenseAnalyzer™ also automates license harvesting and goes beyond check-in/check-outs in uncovering true active usage, making it a complete software management solution.
Product or Service Overview
Meter, analyze, and optimize software usage of over 6000 applications, whether license manager-enabled, standalone, or SaaS-based.
Simulate the cost of different licensing models, including named-user, local vs global concurrent user, token, and pay-per-use, without making changes to the infrastructure.
LicenseAnalyzer™ automates license harvesting and goes beyond check-in/check-outs in uncovering true active usage, making it a complete software management solution with the following levels:
Level 1 Runtime Usage
Collect usage data from a wide range of sources to meter checked-out licenses or applications.
Level 2 True Active Usage
Meter the activity levels of all standalone or server-based applications, cloud, or on-premise to determine whether the applications are truly being actively used.
Level 3 Managed Usage
Automate license optimization.
ComputeAnalyzer™ meters CPU, memory and I/O usage on GRID computing environments, such as IBM Spectrum LSF, PBS Professional, OpenPBS, Oracle Grid Engine and Torque.
StorageAnalyzer™ is an IT asset management tool that monitors files, file systems, disks and backups to enable accurate IT asset planning and efficient use of storage resources.
Open iT also has plug-ins, namely:
- LicensePredictor – Forecasting and anomaly detection tool that analyzes current and historical usage data to predict future trends in license usage.
- CLIMS – Advanced system that provides administrators a centralized portal for the administration and management of license files and license servers.
- LicensePlanner – Provides functionalities to manage, plan and optimize licensed software applications and license agreements. It can help to build insight to better allocate software maintenance cost using a system that allows consolidation of annual data on the estimated, budgeted and actual spending.
