Usage Efficiency

This report illustrates how efficiently software is utilized. By analyzing unique peaks and total hours used, we can identify the distribution of where peaks occur most frequently.

Goal
An efficiency chart—particularly one with cumulative ascending data—can help determine the appropriate software license level based on the most concentrated usage hours or wall time. Look for steep ascents in the cumulative line, which indicate periods of high license utilization.
