Sometimes licenses stay checked out long after the work stops—and that adds up. In this engaging, practical session, we’ll explore common behaviors that lead to license waste and how teams can build healthier, more efficient habits. Learn how small changes can free up resources, cut costs, and keep projects moving smoothly.

Cloud and SaaS licensing models are here—but most environments aren’t ready to go all-in. This session explores how to manage the complexities of hybrid licensing, track usage across both on-prem and cloud platforms and prepare your team for vendor-driven shifts. Get the tools and insights you need to stay in control, even as your licensing landscape evolves.

Raw usage data isn’t enough. What matters is how engineering teams turn that data into smarter planning, faster decisions, and better license ROI. This session shows how to translate license usage insights into real-world outcomes—from capacity planning and vendor negotiations to improving access and performance across teams. Beyond the numbers, we’ll also look at the organizational challenges that come with change, from finding the right people to drive adoption, to managing the communication and legwork required to ensure lasting impact.
