Concurrent license savings
Compare the difference between:
- max total concurrent (265)

- max active concurrent (150)

In this case a difference of 115 licenses
or 115* $50,000 = $5,750,000


Some successful processes by our customers:

• Automated, rules-based recapture of truly inactive
licenses

• Integrated Chargeback / Cost Allocation

• Pay-Per-Use, based on actual usage of “price book”
software items (not just “Feature”)

• Assets team analyze uptake of new technology on an
ongoing basis
