As vendors shift toward subscription and AI-driven models, the cost of managing engineering software licenses well — or poorly — is only growing.
We invite you to a focused, invitation-only evening in Pune where senior leaders and IT managers from engineering-intensive organisations will compare notes on what it actually takes to control cost, ensure compliance, and stay ahead of vendor change, with practical input from OpenLM and Adrialic Solutions.
This is a working roundtable: real challenges, peer perspectives, and practical next steps.
An evening in two parts
§ 01 — PRACTITIONER DEEP-DIVES
5:20 – 6:50 PM
Adrialic Solutions on enterprise software asset management: best practices for compliance and cost governance.
OpenLM on engineering SAM and AI-driven application governance — what to put in place now.
Built for IT and license managers who need concrete, actionable practices to take back to their teams.
§ 02 — INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVES
7:00 – 8:00 PM
A candid executive panel on where engineering software licensing is headed — vendor lock-in, new pricing models, and what AI means for control and cost.
Framed for decision-makers: the business risk and opportunity, not just the technical detail.
The evening closes with open Q&A, dinner, and networking.
