Augment your software asset management strategy with advanced software usage metering

Not all usage data is helpful. Only advanced, second by second usage metering exposes cost savings that would have previously remained hidden. This level of analysis of application activity and the nature of human interaction with those applications, is the only way to understand what software is really needed at the endpoint.

Gaming of license token management systems, applications that automatically launch when booting the device, over provisioning of entitlements etc. all incur unnecessary expense that can be quickly cut, once the active usage data is available.

Optimize all your license models

Acumen delivers forensic level detail on usage and usage patterns to give absolute visibility of licensing requirements based on actual usage. Use second-by-second usage data to buy and renew only the subscriptions and token levels you need.

Understand peak demand patterns and ensure optimal license purchase that ensures availability at minimal cost. Rationalize license tiers, downgrading if appropriate.

Stop paying for applications you’re not using

Enable significant cost savings in annual software costs by identifying underutilized or entirely unused applications. Identify and eliminate or reassign unused or underutilized software licenses. Remove unnecessary duplication and overlap – whether it is on-premise or SaaS.

Drive adoption and eliminate redundant applications

It’s not uncommon for organizations to be running multiple versions of the same type of software, but there are huge efficiencies to be gained by eliminating those redundant applications and driving adoption of corporate standards.. Identify ‘category sprawl’ and gain insights that drive savings.
