Company Profile

At SoftWatch Technologies, the developer of OptimizeIT, we are fully dedicated to optimize software usage for our customers. Since its establishment, Softwatch has focused on a single mission: controlling all of the enterprise IT assets from a single console, and significantly reducing software license spending through real-time detection of unutilized licenses. Softwatch solutions have helped companies to maximize revenues, cut costs and boost productivity.

OptimizeIT was originally developed to solve the problem of denied licenses in floating/Concurrent environments. It has been proven that in such organizations, employees are only utilizing 50% of the time they are locking an application license, thus holding idle an expensive asset while it could be used by another employee who gets denied application access due to lack of licenses.

Until the development of OptimizeIT, IT managers and EDA tool managers didn't have the ability to know if an engineer is using an application license or if it is idle. Tools were created only to monitor the allocation of licenses and indicate who is holding a particular license and for how long. Freeing up licenses was a long and laborious process, in which every mistake bore heavy consequences. Knowing who has a license gave no indication of the status of use. OptimizeIT can oversee any number of engineers, accurately determine license utilizing and react appropriately.

With OptimizeIT, organizations immediately experience a high number of unused software licenses freed up due to reassignment of unused idle licenses. This number represents huge overall savings as well as the confidence of knowing that the licenses being used are being utilized to their best ability. And on the other hand, proving the need for an additional new license is easy and conclusive, making the laborious process of analysis quick and straightforward.

After solving problems in floating/Concurrent environments, OptimizeIT development continued in order to support other license models environments, and today Global 1000 enterprises benefit from real-time IT management of all their software licenses. By uniquely transforming every desktop – real or virtual – into a self-monitoring platform, OptimizeIT provides all the software inventory, usage reports and functionality reports that gives IT and business executives the empirical evidence on which licenses are needed for the organization.

Rapid implementation and integration results in immediate return of investment (ROI), making OptimizeIT the industry’s fastest and most profitable path to real-time asset management for enterprise applications.
