Unique Advantages

Current asset management solutions can assist IT administrators in checking in and out floating licenses. They can also provide historical license statistics that help the IT staff to identify peak demand times, when a maximum number of users apply for a specific license. This information can help companies in deciding either to buy more licenses or to save money by decreasing the number of existing licenses.

However, these solutions do not inform the IT administrators whether the licenses are actually being used or not!

Unlike other asset management solutions, OptimizeIT:

• Defines the type of functionality used in every application. For example, OptimizeIT differentiate between editing and viewing modes, which have a clear effect on the license price that the company pays
• Provides an overall perspective of all the desktop applications
• Offers real-time reporting
• Reports not only how many bought vs. how many installed the software, but also how many utilized it
• Has a very light agent that doesn’t hook or affect the computer's CPU resources
• Has a standalone monitoring agent
• Has a very simple and intuitive reporting mechanism

OptimizeIT's main benefits are:

• Increasing overall license ROI by enabling optimal usage of every license owned
• Increasing engineering productivity by reducing the number of denials and waiting periods for licenses to become available
• Increasing IT productivity by dramatically eliminating denials intervention time
• Accurately budgeting software license needs by understanding the REAL number of licenses needed and chargeback ability
• Increasing control in an environment where enforcing best practices is difficult
