Software Usage Tracking & Reporting

Key Benefits of Software Usage Tracking and Reporting

Software usage monitoring and tracking can give companies great insights into their employees’ work habits, skills, efficiency and more. In addition, companies can gain a greater understanding of their customers and maximize their customer service, efficiency, licensing automation, customer communication, and more.

• Maximize Productivity and Security
  By using software usage tracking, employers can understand which pieces of software employees are using. This includes unapproved software downloaded to the computer which could compromise a company’s security. By using software usage tracking tools, you can remove unwanted software from a worker’s computer and therefore improve productivity.
• Stay in Control of your Employees Software Use
  Using the correct tools, you’ll be able to identify how your employees are using the software on their computers and other devices. This includes which applications they are using, how long they are using them for, the cost to the company and more. Using this information, you’ll be able to understand if certain applications need to be changed, how and if your company is wasting money on software that is unnecessary.
• Efficient Licensing Plans
  Even with the most efficient licensing plan, no company wants to waste unused licenses and funds. Software usage analysis and management allows companies to identify unused licenses and therefore eliminate them or make changes in future licensing plans according to their licensing agreement. Software usage tracking can also help to identify redundant pieces of software in a company (similar functions in different applications for example). This will allow you to make decisions on renewing licenses or software products in the future.
• Information about Employees’ Knowledge and Skills
  Software usage monitoring allows companies to rearrange software assignments between employees depending on specific use. If an employee isn’t using software or an application due to insufficient knowledge, companies can discover this through software usage analysis and assign additional training. This information can also give insight into which departments or employees have a need for different types of features so that licenses can be assigned as specifically as possible.
