The pressure is on you to sign off on the license renewal.
Who really uses this application, do they use it enough to justify the expense, and do you really need that many user licenses?
Introspectus provides visibility into actual application usage and the information you need to make an informed business decision.
Current software reporting tools are typically developed by vendors, are vendor specific, and are often focused on facilitating true-up activities. Existing hardware reports do not record the extent of usage of each individual computer.
Merely recording that an Application has been installed, is no proof that it is used, or that it is even used frequently. Applications are often installed so that your staff may use them, if required. However, software is expensive and unutilised or under-utilised Applications costing thousands of dollars don’t make sense.
While information about the hardware in your IT environment is necessary, not recording its utilisation may result in computers being placed in environments where they are not used.
Introspectus provides detailed Application usage data, giving you visibility of when Applications have been used, for what duration, and by which users:
Introspectus records the extent to which the computer hardware is also used.
Recording when your organisation's computers are powered up and down gives you accurate power consumption data to assist you in reporting on your organisations energy consumption.
Every time a user in your organisation uses an Application, Introspectus records each ‘in focus’ window and records the ‘start time’ the window becomes ‘active’ and the time when the window is no longer ‘active’. This information is stored locally on the workstation before being used to generate reports of user’s actual Application usage.
Introspectus records the start time and end time of usage of each Application window and also the associated Application details. This information is collected to produce a summary of each Application’s usage over a nominated period, providing information about the unique number of users and computers, as well as the time that the Application was ‘in focus’ and ‘active’, i.e. actually used.
Reports summarise actual time spent per geographic location (or office) for each Application.
Actual usage of an Application, per instance, and per computer, differentiating between the time that it has been ‘in focus’ and the time it is actively in use. This report distinguishes between time that an Application is displayed on a screen but unused, versus the time in use.
All reports can be exported to Excel.
The extent to which computer hardware is used differentiates Introspectus reports from other reporting.
