Avoidance of over-licensing:
OpenLM helps organizations avoid over-licensing by providing insights into license usage patterns. This prevents unnecessary purchases and helps optimize license costs.

Usually, organizations have their user data spread over a number of devices, services (such as SaaS), and directories. Ensuring efficient management of all these resources is challenging, especially when changes take place in one directory that needs to be synced with others (e.g.: off-boarding of employees).
OneDirectorySync addresses this issue by utilizing your primary organizational directory as the one and only source of truth, while ensuring updates to all associated cloud destinations.
