Somos Open iT

Open iT is an enterprise software company that provides advanced analytics for software license usage, application activity, and IT resource consumption. It helps large organizations gain accurate visibility into how software is actually used across the enterprise.

Open iT enables organizations to measure, analyze, and optimize software usage. By collecting real-time and historical data from license servers, applications, and systems, Open iT helps enterprises reduce software costs, improve license availability, and support compliance and strategic decision-making.

Open iT was founded to solve the problem of limited visibility into real software usage. Enterprises were making licensing and investment decisions based on estimates rather than facts, leading to overspending, inefficiencies, and operational risk. Open iT was created to provide objective, usage-based insights.

Open iT has been in the market since 1999, with over two decades of experience supporting enterprise-scale software license management and optimization initiatives.

Open iT was founded in Oslo, Norway, and has major offices in Houston (United States), Oslo (Norway), and Lucena City (Philippines).

Open iT operates globally, supporting customers across North America, Europe, and Asia, and serving enterprises with distributed, multi-region IT environments.

Open iT serves industries with complex and high-value software environments, including engineering, energy, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and other large enterprises that rely on mission-critical software.

Open iT primarily works with large enterprises and global organizations that manage diverse software portfolios, multiple licensing models, and thousands of users across departments and locations.

Open iT delivers the greatest value to mid-sized and large enterprises, particularly organizations with significant software spend, complex licensing agreements, and a need for centralized visibility and governance.

Open iT is primarily a software vendor, offering a comprehensive analytics platform for license, application, computing, and storage usage. The company also provides professional and managed services to support implementation, optimization, and long-term success.

Open iT's core expertise is deep usage metering and analytics, including real-time monitoring, historical trend analysis, concurrency measurement, and true active usage tracking across complex software environments.

Open iT is vendor-neutral by design. It collects and normalizes data across multiple software vendors, license managers, and environments, allowing organizations to analyze usage consistently without relying on vendor-reported metrics.

Open iT is guided by values of accuracy, transparency, and long-term value. The company prioritizes reliable data, practical insights, and measurable outcomes that support informed enterprise decision-making.
