Benefits of Metering TASKING Licenses

Acquiring the right kind of data enables stakeholders to make informed decisions.

By understanding who, when, where, and how your applications are being used, you can adjust your work processes to achieve an efficient and optimized outcome.

1. Resource planning

To survive in today’s fast-changing market, companies need to continuously create new projects that will serve the demands of their consumer base.

Effective resource planning is therefore crucial to ensure that key personnel have access to critical applications. Leverage your organization’s software usage data through the simulation of different license agreements to find out the combination of TASKING licenses that best fit your organization’s needs.

Create personalized reports in MS PowerBI, Spotfire, Tableau, and other BI tools to deliver the information that management needs to make better decisions on resource allocation.

2. User behavior

The benefits of collecting usage data can extend beyond the walls of the IT department.

For example, the administrator can identify employees with low utilization of specific applications.

If the reason for the low frequency of usage is due to the software’s steep learning curve, the training department can facilitate workshops to address this issue.

User level reports can also start the discussion regarding the responsible use of IT assets. Mitigate the losses incurred by low employee productivity by effectively tracking software usage.

Uncover inefficient usage of licenses in TASKING License Manager caused by license hogging or camping.

3. Cost savings

Eliminating shelf ware, enabling IT chargeback, avoiding paying for features you don’t use in the next license renewal, and passing vendor audits – these are just some of the cost-saving opportunities that metering TASKING licenses can create.

Whether you’re wondering if you should consolidate all your licenses into a single license server or simply looking for areas where you can increase business value, don’t forget to take a closer look at your license usage.

You might be surprised at how much you can save through software optimization.
