Better visibility, enhanced control
With OpenLM, you can employ centralized monitoring of the total software and license usage across the organization and get reports specific to location, country, or region (APAC, EMEA, AMER). This enables business leaders to locate unused or underutilized licenses, procure the software and licenses they need, and prevent unauthorized access.
Optimized allocation of resources
By leveraging OpenLM, global organizations can track the exact usage of software licenses (actual usage) and allocate licenses accordingly. This will automatically help minimize time loss and boost efficiency.
There are situations where engineers in a particular location may get denials when trying to access a license, while there are unused or underutilized licenses in other locations. With OpenLM, you can ensure this doesn’t happen, and engineers across locations can access a license whenever they need it.
Effective management of expenses
In global organizations, depending on your licensing requirements (local or global access), the expenses keep varying. The cost of the same license can differ across countries. Apart from that, the rapid spike in the cost of software can appear as a major challenge for planning your licenseing budget and sticking to it.
With OpenLM, you can access data-driven insights into your licensing expenses and locate areas where you need to invest more and areas where you need to optimize expenses.Â
Enhanced compliance
For organizations spread across multiple countries, maintaining licensing compliance often becomes a challenging task due to the complex nature of license agreements and the absence of a smart license management solution.
