FRIMO Centralizes CATIA with Infotech
License Statistics
 LEONBERG,
Germany, May 6, 2009 - FRIMO Group is one of the world’s leading developers
and providers of system solutions for the manufacture of high quality plastics
components. In the course of a process optimization, the CAD license usage has
recently been centralized at the five German engineering locations in order to
give every CATIA user at FRIMO access to all available CATIA licenses. The
objective was to enhance the utilization of the expensive CATIA licenses so that
in future, fewer licenses have to be purchased despite an increase in the use of
CATIA. In comparison to the site-specific licensing, where license shortages and
questions regarding the license usage could be answered easily by asking the
designers on-site, special tools are required to monitor the nationwide usage of
the licenses.
Infotech Enterprises GmbH, a leading provider of digital design communication
solutions could provide the right solution to FRIMO: License Statistics. With
this tool, organizations can find out about the license usage of their
applications through detailed queries. The knowledge about peek times, free
capacities and much more enables companies to optimize their license pool.
With License Statistics, all CATIA users at FRIMO can directly see which
licenses are currently available in all locations, which licenses are currently
in use and which employee is using a required license. “License Statistics
ideally supports the centralization of our CATIA licenses – through a very
transparent monitoring of the current license situation”, Arno Driemeyer, Head
of Information Technology at FRIMO Group explains. Besides, the open interface
of License Statistics allows the integration into existing systems. This way, a
performance-linked cost allocation based on SAP R3 could be realized, and each
FRIMO location is charged for the exact hours of CATIA usage per month.
All together, FRIMO could realize immense cost savings by using licenses
statistics because a nationwide license pooling would have been difficult to
realize without this tool. To sum up, the results of using License Statistics at
FRIMO are rated as outstanding: Through its open structure, this tool could be
implemented into existing solutions without difficulties and has fully satisfied
all expectations.
