挑战
Bajaj Auto 是第三大摩托车制造商和全球最大的三轮车生产商，在管理和控制其企业软件资产方面面临着挑战。随着软件采购成为业务成本的不断上升，软件库存管理、许可证利用率和退款核算对于准确的容量规划和预算变得至关重要。 Bajaj Auto 的高级管理层正在努力根据组织生产力“调整”其产品生命周期管理 (PLM) 软件投资。该公司发现很难整合许可证总数并了解 PLM、CAD、CAE、CFD 和 NVH 软件的使用情况来进行容量规划以支持其研发人员。该公司还发现，高达 25% 的采购软件未得到充分利用或根本没有得到利用。缺乏对分布式系统的可见性以及对采购的软件资产的核算最少，使情况进一步复杂化。
关于客户
Bajaj Auto 是一家印度摩托车制造商，由 Shri Jamnalal Bajaj 于 1926 年创立。它是第三大摩托车制造商和世界上最大的三轮车生产商。该公司在 Waluj、Chakan 和 Pantnagar 设有工厂，2011-12 财年生产了 432 万辆两轮和三轮车，创下历史新高。 Bajaj Auto 致力于将高性能摩托车推向市场，品质毫不妥协。通过研发 (R&D) 进行创新是 Bajaj 的市场优势。该公司位于 Akurdi Pune 的研发机构得到了印度政府的认可，并在其产品线及其周边拥有众多专利。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战，Bajaj Auto 与 Altair 合作实施了强大的软件资产优化 (SAO) 解决方案。 SAO 解决方案由五个主要组件组成：数据层、数据收集代理、数据整合、数据分析和分析以及表示层。该解决方案提供了按需软件库存可视性以及针对许可证到期、拒绝和续订的系统感知警报。它还提供按供应商、按功能、按班次、按部门等划分的软件许可证利用率统计数据，以及支持容量规划、软件采购决策和供应商谈判的客观数据和指标。该解决方案针对最流行的许可证服务器和管理器进行了预先配置，只需与这些服务器建立网络连接并安装数据收集代理即可部署工作解决方案。在安装数据收集代理的几天内，Bajaj 就能够可视化许可证服务器信息并执行高级分析。

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
