In today’s hyper-competitive landscape, organizations across industries—from Automotive, Aerospace, Heavy Machinery, Semiconductors, Oil and Gas to Consumer Electronics—continue to invest heavily in high-value software assets for Engineering, R&D, and Manufacturing. However, while these assets are indispensable to innovation and operations, one major challenge persists: understanding how effectively they’re being utilized.
Bridging the Utilization Gap
Nibana Solutions was founded in April 2011 by seasoned professionals with extensive experience in manufacturing and engineering services. The company focuses on delivering integrated manufacturing-centric enterprise workflows and applications. With deep insight into the operational challenges faced by global and Indian enterprises, the team at Nibana Solutions identified a persistent blind spot—how various types of software assets/licenses (Concurrent, Named user, Subscription, Cloud, Node locked, etc.,), often numbering in the thousands, are being used across multiple geographies.
To address this, they built ESEC, an advanced analytics software designed and developed entirely in-house over the past seven years. ESEC was shaped by real-world feedback from senior executives across industries, making it not just a software product—but a solution rooted in actual business needs.
What is ESEC?
ESEC (Enterprise Software Efficiency & Control) is a comprehensive analytics platform that delivers on-demand utilization reports and performance insights about software assets used in engineering environments. From multiple sectors like Automotive, Aerospace, Heavy Machinery, Semiconductors, Oil and Gas to Consumer Electronics, organizations can now gain clarity on where and how their software tools are being used.
This visibility empowers leadership to:
- Make informed decisions on software license renewals or redeployments
- Provide customized utilization reports by email to stakeholders for review
- Identify underused assets that can be returned or better allocated
- Pinpoint training needs to boost engineering productivity
- Improve and streamline license administration with regular alerts
- Maximize returns on software investments
Real-Time Data, Real Business Impact
ESEC leverages MySQL Enterprise Edition from Oracle to process millions of transactions in real-time, ensuring that stakeholders across the organization have access to accurate and timely insights. Whether it’s a design consultancy firm managing a few hundred licenses or a multinational corporation tracking thousands of users working across the globe, ESEC scales to meet the complexity of diverse operations.
The Results Speak for Themselves
Organizations using ESEC have reported up to 30% improvements in both software asset utilization and engineer productivity. These gains not only reduce costs and ease license administration but also drive significant, measurable improvements in overall profitability.
