Rawstream Announces New Tool to Help Organizations Identify Desktop and Cloud Applications in Use, Saving Up to 90% On Licensing Costs by moving to Google Apps.
London, UK (PRWEB) April 13, 2016 -- Did you know that only 10% of your employees use Excel regularly? So why pay for expensive Microsoft Office licenses for the other 90%? From today, Rawstream’s new Application Usage Analytics allows organisations to discover the full suite of applications employees use.
Rawstream tracks all cloud-based and desktop applications in use by employees, including the individual applications that make up the Microsoft Office and Google Apps for Work suites. The benefit? Organisations get a complete, real-time view with the information and insights they need to pay only for the licenses employees use.
Reduce Licensing Costs:
Although Office may be a great productivity tool, only 10% of employees use all of Office's feature set. The rest can be just as productive with free cloud-based collaboration tools such as Google Apps.
Rawstream's Application Analytics shows organisations the daily and monthly active users for each application, giving them the information they need to pay just for the licenses used, saving a lot of money.
Shining a Light on Shadow IT:
The workplace is changing, and employees and departments are taking matters into their own hands and installing the applications they are most comfortable with, often without IT’s knowledge or authorisation.
Rawstream is built for this new environment, helping businesses understand what apps people are using. Application Analytics shows who is running what, and if they are sharing documents that they shouldn’t be. With Rawstream, businesses have visibility into what new apps people are introducing into the workplace. With Rawstream CIOs and IT now have the ability to reach out to their businesses and suggest how new apps can help enhance productivity and reduce costs.
