Summary

The role of the IT manager can be very taxing as it affects the overall direction of the entire organization. The IT manager maintains the organization’s effectiveness and efficiency by monitoring and directing the application and utilization of technology. Aside from keeping the organization running, the IT Manager plays a role in increasing the growth of an organization by identifying technical problems, anticipating requirements, evaluating IT trends, providing recommendations for solutions, and implementing IT policies and procedures.

In order for the IT manager to effectively deliver solutions and implement strategic plans, he or she needs to have the capacity to evaluate and examine the organization’s IT systems. Open iT provides solutions which include monitoring and reporting of system usage statistics. These features enable IT managers to understand how system resources are being used. With the ability of Open iT to monitor a variety of system resources combined with its flexible reporting capabilities, IT managers can easily evaluate system resources, and plan improvements on system performance and IT service levels.

Open iT provides a centralized view of all license servers, enabling IT managers to examine detailed and accurate usage statistics across any combination of local or global license servers, in any location, time zone or even remote offices.
