Manufacturing companies use SLM tools to oversee licenses for enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, supply chain management software, and industrial automation tools, enabling them to optimize production processes and reduce operational costs. Additionally, SLM solutions are widely used in IT and software development companies to manage licenses for development tools, cloud platforms, and collaboration software, ensuring seamless operations and cost efficiency.
The adoption of software license management solutions has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by the increasing complexity of software licensing models and the need for compliance and cost optimization. Large enterprises, with their extensive software portfolios and complex IT environments, have been early adopters of SLM solutions, recognizing the need to centralize license management and gain visibility into software usage. These organizations often operate across multiple regions and rely on a diverse range of software applications, making SLM tools essential for managing licenses at scale.
In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED)'s Smart Manufacturing initiative, launched in October 2021, in alignment with the federal “Industry 4.0” strategy, marks a major shift toward high-tech industrial development. With a goal to grow the manufacturing sector by 30% and increase GDP by $6.8 billion by 2031, the initiative requires the adoption of sophisticated software platforms to manage operations, including software licensing tools for automation systems, production planning, and cybersecurity. Moreover, in Saudi Arabia, the government’s prioritization of healthcare—evidenced by its $50.4 billion budget allocation in 2023, representing 16.96% of total spending—translates into increased digitization of medical infrastructure. As the country contributes 60% of the healthcare expenditures in the GCC, it is also a regional leader in adopting digital health systems such as electronic health records (EHR), telemedicine platforms, and AI-powered diagnostics, all of which require licensed software. Therefore, the strategic advancements in manufacturing in the UAE, the expanding digital commerce landscape in Brazil, and the health-tech investments in Saudi Arabia are collectively accelerating the adoption of software solutions across industries.
