Proof of Value: the ROI case for Open iT, from your own usage
A Proof of Value (PoV) measures how you use your software against your licensing terms and agreements. It ends with a documented case for ROI and potential savings. Open iT sets it up on your real data, on-premises or in the cloud. It answers the budget question a PoC doesn't: will Open iT pay back, and by how much?
Choose a PoV if
Justify the purchase
You have to justify the purchase to finance, procurement or the executive team.
Usage against your agreements
You want your usage measured against what your license agreements say, not only against seat counts.
Forecasting and cost allocation
You want to test forecasting (LicensePredictor) or cost allocation (LicensePlanner) as part of the evaluation.
Choose another option if

Proof of Value FAQ
No. The Fast-Track Cloud Trial is the free option.
At the end of the engagement, Open iT's consultants present and hand over a conclusion report. It is based on about 90 days of data gathered from your own software estate, and it covers:
- Your current license position, and how software is used across the organization.
- The key potential savings, including an analysis of where licenses can be right-sized.
- Which type of license agreement best fits your usage patterns. WAN, LAN and named-user options are simulated without any change to your infrastructure.
- Recommendations for following up on named-user agreements.
- Practical improvements, plus recommendations ahead of contract renewals and software license audits.
- Best practices for software license management, and how to avoid common licensing risks in your environment, for example SAP, where it applies.
