Working with some of our Fortune 500 and Global 500 clients, such as Electronic Data Systems Corporation, we've had the opportunity to make significant enhancements to License Statistics IBM LUM support. The latest version of License Statistics now lets you obtain denied user statistics from IBM LUM as CSV data and import the data into Excel, a feature previously available only on our other supported platforms.
Why is this important, you may ask? For large companies such as the clients with whom we worked to provide IBM LUM support, this data is crucial, because these companies depend on heavyweight applications, such as Catia, in their daily operations.
Denied user statistics provide critically important information for network license management systems, allowing you to understand when and how often people are prevented from doing their work.
No denials might be a clear indication that you're over-licensed. However, a high denial rate is equally bad, because it's a clear indication that you might need more licenses. How many licenses are enough? You can apply filters to the statistics that License Statistics exports, such as mean values on the number of denials, to more clearly see trends on how denials occur in your system.
License Statistics surpasses the competition as a software license management solution by providing this functionality, which further improves the statistics of Catia and other enterprise software applications, at no additional cost. Some of our competitors have made it sound as though software licensing is as complex as brain surgery. We prove that this is not the case.
