In today’s fast-changing engineering world, managing software costs effectively is more important than ever. Many companies don’t realize they are overspending on engineering software. Not because they need more tools, but because they are not managing their licenses efficiently.
That’s where LAMUM (License Asset Manager with Usage Monitoring) comes in. On average, LAMUM helps engineering teams save up to 20% per year on CAD, CAE, EDA, and PLM costs. These are expenses you’re already paying, but unnecessarily. Yes, there’s a small investment in adopting LAMUM, but the savings far outweigh it. In fact, the return on investment (ROI) often exceeds 1,000% — and our team can show you the numbers to prove it.
Making Smarter Decisions with Better Data
With the right engineering IT asset management and reporting tools, you can evaluate your software landscape more accurately. LAMUM provides visibility that helps you answer critical questions:
-
Do your current software licenses align with your business goals?
-
Can you better prepare for upcoming renewals?
-
Where are your potential cost savings hiding?
-
What are your future software usage expectations?
-
Are your license denials legitimate, or do they stem from configuration issues?
To put it into perspective, every 100 engineers cost about $250,000 per year in software licensing. Spending just $5,000 on LAMUM to save 20% of that — around $50,000 a year — is simply smart business.
The Hidden Cost of License Denials
Many organizations react to license denials by purchasing more software. But buying additional CAD, CAE, EDA, or PLM licenses every time an engineer reports a denial is not good practice.
Denials can happen for reasons other than running out of licenses — such as configuration errors, idle sessions, or license queuing. LAMUM helps you identify the real cause of denials, so you can make informed decisions instead of costly assumptions.
Stop Paying for Unused Tools
Why continue renewing engineering tools that no one is using? Many companies do this simply because they lack visibility. With LAMUM, you can enter renewal negotiations armed with data. This preparation alone can save 5–10% on renewal costs. We can show you exactly where those savings come from.
How LAMUM Helps Engineering Teams
A solution like LAMUM goes beyond cost savings. It also helps you streamline workflows and gain a clearer picture of how your software assets are being used.
With LAMUM, you can:
-
Improve utilization of the software you already own
-
Boost engineer productivity and pinpoint where additional training is needed
-
Centralize key information such as vendor details, license servers, renewal dates, and contact records
This level of organization and visibility not only saves money but also improves operational efficiency across engineering and IT departments.
