調達マネージャーのためのOPEN IT

Pull 12 months of usage per licensed feature and compare it with the quote, ideally 60–90 days before renewal. Open iT LicenseAnalyzer™ shows peak concurrent use against the number of licenses owned, every denial, and how much checked-out time was active. If peaks never reach the owned count, the quote is for seats you do not use. If denials are frequent and activity is high, the extra seats are justified.

Bring four numbers to the table: peak concurrent use, owned licenses, denial count and idle share. Open iT reports each by feature, user, location, business unit and month, from a total enterprise view down to a single user. That history lives on your own license servers, so Open iT turns data you already hold into evidence you can put on the table.

Start from how the software is used today, then model the alternative. LicenseAnalyzer tracks concurrent (network), named-user, token-based, reserved and dongle licenses. For Autodesk, dedicated reports show named-user usage, token consumption and seat reassignment recommendations, so you can compare models on the same usage data before the renewal.

Open iT LicensePredictor™ projects license usage 18 months ahead from your historical data. That covers a typical renewal cycle and helps avoid both shortages and overbuying, because the forecast rests on measured use rather than headcount plans or vendor estimates.

Open iT LicensePlanner™ links measured usage to cost centers and produces chargeback, cost allocation and invoices. It tracks estimated, budgeted and actual spend for each software title, so each business unit sees what it used and what it paid, and finance sees where budget and reality diverge.
