Usage Reporting

“LAMUM has helped us audit license data for all of our engineering tools. It has shown usage in ways that we could have never imagined before.”

— Aerospace & Defence Company

“LAMUM is really a very useful tool and has helped us to get a better and more detailed view on license utilization, bottlenecks and requirements. We mostly use the real time/current usage overview as well as the history charts for interactive usage and task planning, as well as the user activity report for detailed analysis.”

— Large Semiconductor Company

“LAMUM helps us keep track of thousands of licenses we own. We can also now share Vendor information, like contacts, purchases, renewal dates, with other managers. Of course, the usage reports are also very helpful in knowing our license usage trends and denials.”

— Large Aerospace Company

“LAMUM was very easy to install and get running. The usage information helps us decide if we truly need more or less licenses.”

— Small Electronics Company

“LAMUM saves me tons of time because I no longer have to manually determine how many licenses are in use for any given product.”

— Medium-size Manufacturer of Medical & Dental Imaging Systems

“We are able to track 100 different license renewals in LAMUM. We love knowing who has Creo and Solidworks licenses checked out and for how long.”

— Medium-size Manufacturer of Data Coding Systems

“We have been using Flexera for the past 8 years it took us weeks to set up and we needed to bring in a database administrator to do so. Flexera requires 3 different servers and 3 different software tools (that they don’t provide) for their installation. Your product was ready out-of-the-box and I can’t think of any other system that even compares. We have been through numerous updates, service packs, hot fixes and “new” versions with Flexera that have made no difference and the features vanish and reappear or are not usable at all.”

“Budgeting and managing the costs of engineering application software within a budget is always a challenge. It is often met with defeat no matter how experienced one is at doing it. Why? Unforeseen business needs appear in the budgeted New Year, software suppliers increase prices, engineers/management insist on the need for new software that will solve current design problems, etc. However, financial management requires you to meet all these needs and more within the defined budget.

Foundational to software budget management is good engineering, financial management, and software supplier reports. This report in many instances, has to be coupled with a robust tool that provides the answer to “Show me the data” or promotes the question “Why do you need the software based on the data?” for additional credibility on your recommendation on what to do. A versatile and easy to use data collection tool, accessible at a moment’s notice, is a critical tool for anyone managing software portfolio budgets and by the engineering customer also. TeamEDA’s LAMUM, in my experience, has been an outstanding tool in supporting the many needs in managing a diverse engineering application portfolio across numerous engineering sites and time zones.

But foremost, LAMUM shines as an investigative tool, when searching for data on how to optimize (i.e., find dollar savings) in your software portfolio to meet a budget challenge. For example, the ability to inspect the utilization of reserved licenses allocated to dedicated resources or to monitor application utilization/denials, in order to set license timeout releases for idle software appropriately. LAMUM provides the data to guide the optimization decision of existing licenses over time, in deciding whether to re-allocate or reduce existing software licenses is appropriate.

The TEAMEDA staff is great to work with and I am grateful for the robust set of capabilities LAMUM provides.”

ROI

“With LAMUM we saved $300,000 the first year with one Vendor (Mentor) alone. We continue to save money on pretty much every Vendor every year, although the savings diminish each year. LAMUM has paid for itself many many times over.”

— Defense & Aerospace Company

“LAMUM is a major tool I use every day. We use expiration alerts to let us know licenses are expiring. We use the daemon down alerts… LAMUM is linked with LDAP to easily see who is using and contact them directly. We have denial reports that we have been using to justify the need for new seats… I have vendor contacts and purchasing quotes, invoices and license agreements stored in it… We have the :8182 links to real time views of usage of our CAD applications on our intranet for anyone to use.”

— Semiconductor Manufacturer

“This tool has been a blessing. It has saved us a ton of money. I have seen a 20% reduction in license needs, especially the expense CAE tools. User counts, Total time in Use by User, Concurrent use graphs, and Long checkout monitoring have been really helpful.”

— Large Aerospace Company

“LAMUM has saved more than half our cost for AutoCAD licenses.”

— Medium-size Manufacturer for Medical Diagnostics Applications Equipment

“We especially like the tool at Maintenance renewal time.”

— Small Manufacturer of Electrical Generators

“LAMUM is faster and less expensive than FNM. LAMUM is elegant, a simple but effective design. User interface is very intuitive.”

— Leading Manufacturer for Energy, Transportation & Industrial Markets Solutions

“It is always difficult to justify tens of thousands of dollars in licensing costs, and previously I had to manually review the log files and even wrote a batch file to sample the data every 15 minutes. LAMUM does all that for me, and instead of 10 hours of work, I had all I needed in one hour.”
