Open iT a Global Hub for Usage Metering and Optimization
OpeniT is a software company that provides usage metering and optimization tools. Its software monitors software and hardware usage across organizations to answer questions about license utilization and optimization opportunities. This allows customers to identify unused licenses and hardware resources that can be reallocated, renegotiated, or avoided on renewal to achieve ongoing cost savings. OpeniT collects data from various sources, provides reporting and analytics, and uses rule-based frameworks to help automatically reclaim inactive licenses and optimize asset usage.

- #4 Here is another story: Burlington Resources saved $5 million on software costs in two years – 36% reduction the first year and an additional 21% the second year.In addition they received an improved mix of software to better support their business. They measured the business value to be 20 times higher than the cost savings.
- #5 Let me tell a simple customer story: They knew what they had bought: The green capacity line shows you that: 300 concurrent user licenses of Magic Earth.Blue line shows how many licenses had been checked out, and the Red line shows how many licenses were actively in use after having been checked out. This was a hosted environment.This customer saved 5,75M in license costs.
