Connect the way your environment already works.

Start quickly with existing exports. Automated collection from your production systems is on the roadmap.

Start with files for the pilot. Automated collection is on the roadmap.

Quick Start

Available now

Use the data you already have.

  • FlexNet, RLM, DSLS and Sentinel file exports
  • CSV, TSV, XLSX and XLSM imports
  • Vendor portal and generic tabular exports
  • Reports from tools such as OpenLM or Open iT, mapped as generic tables
  • Mapped to your own column names, with every mapping reviewable

EngiSignal identifies which license manager produced the file, proposes a mapping, and shows exactly what would be stored before anything is committed. Legacy .xls is not supported.

Direct Connections

Roadmap

Planned integration paths to the systems your organization already uses.

  • REST APIs
  • SFTP delivery
  • SQL Server
  • PostgreSQL
  • Databricks
  • Snowflake
  • Object storage
  • Procurement systems
  • HR systems
  • Vendor APIs
  • ServiceNow / SAM

None of these is implemented yet. Today, exports from these systems come in as files through Quick Start.

Engineering License Collector

Roadmap

Continuously capture engineering license usage directly from supported license managers.

Every number carries its own evidence in the product: the daily peak series it was computed from, the window it covers, and the assumptions applied. Confidence is reported alongside each recommendation rather than assumed.

Signals, not dashboards

From dashboards to decisions.

EngiSignal ranks what deserves attention by financial impact, urgency, capacity risk, and confidence in the underlying data.

30-Day Engineering Software Intelligence Pilot

ConnectAnalyzeDecide

Start with the data you already have. In four weeks you will have a demand-backed position for your next renewal, with the evidence behind every number.

For the pilot, exports are enough. Direct integrations are on the roadmap. Exports are the fastest way to start, not the long-term architecture. No production-system integration is required to begin.

  1. Week 1

    Connect

    Import usage, contracts and organizational data.

  2. Week 2

    Analyze

    Normalize, compute demand and surface Signals.

  3. Week 3

    Validate

    Review evidence with your license administrators.

  4. Week 4

    Decide

    Produce renewal positions and an executive brief.
