Automating Licensing Optimization Helps Avio Achieve a 47% Reduction in Yearly IT Costs
"Open iT Solutions Address the Different Sides of IT Infrastructure Optimization."
Highlights
- As the company grew, Avio realized that their existing solution for tracking software usage was insufficient.
- With Open iT’s LicenseAnalyzer Level 1 and ComputeAnalyzer, Avio was able to detect both active and inactive application usage by metering the company’s software and hardware usage.
- The company used Open iT software on multiple license servers and was able to achieve a 47% reduction in yearly IT costs.
Business Overview
Avio, a global leader in the aerospace industry with 5000 employees, develops and delivers subsystems and components to major international aeronautical, military, civil and space programs. See how their trial of Open iT software yielded a high return on investment, with a 47% cost reduction on the annual IT costs for one of their most expensive engineering applications.
Business Challenge
As the company grew, the existing commercial solution for measuring software usage was insufficient for cost and feature constraints—they needed flexible software management tools with powerful analysis capabilities. Avio required factual data about license use, and had begun to look for a solution that would support multiple license managers such as FlexNet and LUM.
Having evaluated various asset management tracking solutions, Avio enrolled Polimatica, an IT consultancy firm, to team up with Open iT to acquire its platform. LicenseAnalyzer Level 1, Level 3 and ComputeAnalyzer modules were installed on a number of selected computer and workstations. These modules then used a single, centralized database on one dedicated server to store the data being logged from the software license managers.

Software License Tracking: Curbing Camping and Hoarding with Granular Visibility
Continuous access to engineering and design applications such as MATLAB, Ansys, or AutoCAD often dictates whether projects advance efficiently or encounter costly delays. Yet without effective software license tracking, licenses remain finite, expensive, and frequently tied up in ways that reduce overall availability. A significant factor is camping and hoarding behavior, where users hold onto
SOLIDWORKS Software Licensing Models: Network or Named User?
For engineering-driven industries such as automotive, where design cycles are compressed and global collaboration is the norm, the choice of software licensing models has direct implications for productivity, cost control, and long-term scalability. SOLIDWORKS offers both seat-based (concurrent/floating/network) and named user entitlements, each with benefits and constraints. The challenge lies not in understanding their mechanics,
Open iT: Unlocking Software Value at Mexico Oil & Gas Summit 2025
Oil & Gas companies in Latin America are under growing pressure to improve efficiency while keeping technology costs under control. Specialized engineering and geoscience applications, vital for exploration and production, often carry high licensing costs. Without visibility into actual usage, many organizations risk overspending, under-utilizing assets, and missing opportunities to optimize resources. Against this backdrop,
