Discover how understanding usage can benefit your business.

  • Optimize Software Usage
    Maximize the value of your licenses and identify how often each license is actually being used.
  • Identify Production Leaders
    See which team members lead in software use. This data can highlight the team members who engage with the software most actively.
  • Assess Licensing Needs
    Check if you’re over- or under-licensed. This helps avoid overpaying for unused licenses or running out of licenses for active users.
  • Reallocate Resources
    Adjust license distribution based on usage. This reduces unnecessary costs, and makes sure everyone has the tools they need.
  • Use Flex for Light Users
    For team members who only use the software sporadically, Autodesk Flex offers a more cost-effective solution. Instead of paying for a full license, Flex allows you to purchase tokens for on-demand access to the software when needed.
  • Support Budget Planning
    Usage data provides insights into actual software needs, helping to make budget planning more accurate and avoid unnecessary spending.
  • Improve Team Collaboration
    Usage insights can reveal which teams or users might benefit from shared tools or additional training, enhancing collaboration and skill-sharing across the organization.
