Competing in today's global economy entails peak performance and efficiency at all levels of operation

More focus is given to squeezing the most value out of each asset (Asset Efficiency), and on supporting the users of these assets to work in the most productive way (User Efficiency). Enabling cost optimization is essential to successfully manage IT resources. Cost optimization goes beyond typical cost savings to getting the most out of every dollar spent in an organization. To achieve optimization, knowledge gathered using powerful OpeniT software tools gives you the insights you need to understand how your assets are being used.

With the OpeniT Metering and Optimization solution you can zoom in on usage data, profiling both various IT assets (how they are in use, by whom, where and over time), and users or user-groups (which assets they are using, when and over time). The information can be grouped and presented in various ways to support each business decision.

Cost Optimization is crucial for improving a company's competitive edge and profitability.

OpeniT metering and optimization tools can support cost optimization initiatives at four levels in your organization:

1. IT Procurement

Sizing and best terms.

2. Cost Savings within IT

Identify opportunities to reduce costs within your current IT budget.

3. Joint Business and IT Cost Savings

An overview of how assets are in use by whom enables managerial decisions to improve user efficiency and increase business value from IT.

4. Enable Innovation and Business Restructuring

With clear insights into how employees are working today, decisions about what is needed tomorrow are easier to make. Cost savings can be reinvested in new and critical technology for innovation and restructuring, which you otherwise may not have had the means to invest in.
