- Open iT 2026年以降におけるソフトウェア ライセンスの可視性向上を強調している。
- 可視性により、組織はソフトウェア の利用状況、コスト、コンプライアンス、および最適化の機会を把握することができます。
- ライセンスの可視性を高めることで、計画立案、説明責任、およびテクノロジーの価値の向上につながります。
ソフトウェア ライセンスの可視化は、SAM（ソフトウェア資産管理）の専門分野から、ITの基盤となる能力へと移行しつつあり、2026年にはその傾向がさらに強まるでしょう。 可視性の向上は、コスト、リスク、運用効率のあらゆる側面において、より適切な意思決定を支えます。これらは、経営幹部が現在、ITリーダーシップに成果として期待しているものです。「Open iT 」は、「LicenseAnalyzer 」を、2026年以降、組織にとって当然の運用基盤となるライセンス可視性を提供するプラットフォームとして位置づけています。これは、次のライセンス管理時代が構築される基盤となる、コスト管理と戦略的整合性の土台となるものです。
Open iT, a long-standing provider of software license management solutions for engineering and enterprise applications, is entering 2026 with a continued focus on deeper visibility, stronger analytics, and measurable business outcomes. As software portfolios grow in scale and complexity and new technology trends impact business operations and outcomes, software asset management is no longer a back-office function—it is a strategic capability.
Throughout 2025, Open iT helped organizations across energy, engineering, construction, and other asset-intensive industries gain control over high-value software environments through advanced software license management initiatives. Many of these organizations, including numerous Fortune 500 enterprises, moved beyond basic compliance to unlock tangible cost savings, improved operational efficiency, and stronger vendor negotiations supported by Open iT insights.
These results are not theoretical. They are reflected in the experiences of organizations that rely on Open iT for software license management to understand how software licenses are actually used across global teams and to support ongoing license optimization efforts.

ソフトウェア 資産管理で隠れた価値を解き放つ
Having clear insight into how many licenses were needed—and where—enabled more disciplined allocation and more informed vendor negotiations with software suppliers. With Open iT, Tata Consultancy Services strengthened its negotiating position and achieved multi-million-dollar savings by aligning entitlements with real demand through structured license optimization.
ライセンスの透明性向上により、手動による監視や過剰プロビジョニングに伴う運用負担も軽減され、チームは日常的なライセンス可用性管理ではなく、より付加価値の高い業務に注力できるようになりました。
隠れたライセンスと未活用ライセンスの排除
At bp, limited visibility into complex application environments made it difficult to determine how many Petrel licenses were in use versus sitting idle, creating challenges for effective software license management. According to Govinda Reddy Diddakuntla, business users often struggled to access licenses because others had checked them out without actively using them.
Open iT provided a complete view of license consumption patterns, revealing which licenses were underutilized and where demand could be better balanced to support sustainable license optimization. With this insight, bp was able to reclaim unused capacity and reduce licensing costs by 25 to 30 percent—without disrupting user productivity.
The outcome was not simply cost reduction, but a more efficient and transparent software environment that supported both technical teams and business objectives through disciplined.
複雑なポートフォリオに比例して拡大する可視性
For Woodside Energy, managing more than 100 applications required consistent, reliable usage intelligence. Raj Damodaran noted that enabled comprehensive oversight of their application portfolio, allowing stakeholders to see exactly how each application was being consumed and to apply targeted software license optimization strategies.
このレベルの透明性により、より情報に基づいた更新協議が可能となり、ライセンス決定が推測ではなく実際の使用データに基づいて行われることが保証され、ソフトウェア 管理の実践が強化されました。
Similarly, Kosmos Energy leveraged Open iT to align license capacity with actual demand. Gurjeet Singhv highlighted the ability to scale licenses up or down based on real usage patterns, reducing waste while maintaining availability for critical workloads.
2026年を見据えて
As organizations prepare for 2026, the pressure to optimize software investments will only increase. Rising software costs, more frequent vendor audits, and expanding hybrid and cloud environments demand accurate, defensible usage data.
