These days, a large number of new games are released every month, every week, and every day. While users are often pleased with the ultra-fine graphics and the huge amount of content, it is inevitable that development time and costs will increase. This time, we interviewed " OpenLM," which plays a behind-the-scenes role in modern game development! We asked them about their " software license management solution," which is unfamiliar to many people!
Interview with OpenLM!
- First of all, please tell us about your company.
OpenLM provides " Software License Management Solutions " to help companies manage their licenses from a global perspective. We help companies optimize the number of expensive software licenses used in various fields such as engineering, manufacturing, gaming, animation, etc., to ensure efficient project progress.
- What is your company's area of expertise, style, and appeal?
Our strength is cost reduction andefficient license management. In particular, we visualize and optimize the management of software licenses for Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, and Unreal Engine, which are used in game development and animation production. By eliminating unnecessary costs, we ensure that teams can use the licenses they really need.
- I understand you have an office in Japan.
OpenLM is a global company founded in Israel in 2009. Our headquarters is in Israel, but we established our Japanese subsidiary in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 2022.
We had been expanding into Japan through partners and distributors for more than 10 years, but now we have established our own office and corporation to operate directly in Japan. We have a strong interest in the Japanese market and are working with local partners to strengthen our support.
- What are your impressions of the Japanese and global gaming market?
The Japanese game market is leading the world with its technological capabilities and unique creativity. In particular, RPGs and action games are very popular overseas, and many development studios are active worldwide.
Recently, the development environment has become increasingly complex due to the sophistication of game engines. That's where license management is becoming more important.
- Please tell us about the game business and genres you are currently focusing on.
OpenLM focuses on optimizing software license management in game development. In particular, we help manage licenses for tools used in 3D modeling and CG production, thereby reducing development costs andallocating resources more efficiently.
- What is your vision for the future?
Our vision is to help companies optimize the use of software licenses to reduce unnecessary costs. In the gaming industry, many development teams use multiple software packages, which often complicates license management. OpenLM solves these challenges and makes the development environment smoother, helping more creators to focus on their creative work.
