As companies grow – either organically or through mergers and acquisitions, staying on top of license needs for engineering tools becomes increasingly difficult. Whether you’re bringing new tools into your software license landscape, or working with the same tools on separate license agreements, the complexity of managing expensive software licenses grows with every new team, tool or location you’re adding.
Proactive management and monitoring of your engineering software licenses can help you stay on top of rapidly shifting teams and projects. With teams realigning or relocating and shifting resources, it’s crucial to centralizing disparate license information and documentation to ensure compliance with license usage agreements and that you’re fully aware of all the tools available to your teams.
Similarly, understanding both historical and real-time usage of features and tools ensures every engineer has access to the tool they need, when they need it, without the company paying for a surplus of unused features or licenses.
As the number and location of engineers, the number of teams and the number of tools being utilized grows – often in large sudden bursts, staying on top of this becomes a more daunting task than ever. Without streamlined reporting on usage, it’s impossible to make the investments and optimizations needed.
TeamEDA’s LAMUM tackles all of this and much more! Our unparalleled functionality allows engineers, IT teams, license administrators and managers to understand and optimize usage for all leading software vendor and daemon management tools.
One of our clients, a technology company based in California, highlighted just how valuable TeamEDA is in helping manage the growth process. Starting with 125 users working on the development of one of their consumer electronic products, they evangelized and quickly brought more teams and divisions onboard, swelling to almost 600 users!
Realizing the value of the tool, the company chose to shift their entire hardware engineering group, responsible for the development of consumer products and IT infrastructure, over to LAMUM. In doing so, they were able to ensure their engineers could maximize productivity while minimizing license expenses.
