Simplify License Management
and Business Operations
with Custom Low-Code Applications
Is your IT team spending 20% of their time managing license requests? Inefficient license management can cost your business thousands of dollars per year in wasted resources. If your operations are bogged down by inefficient manual processes, this can be the time to streamline your software license management with low-code applications.
For many businesses, email inboxes become overflowing graveyards of forgotten approvals and unclear requests. This was the struggle of a large oil field services company until they partnered with Rapid App Werks and applied a low-code development solution that revolutionized their Siemens Teamcenter license management process.
The Struggle with Manual License Management
If your business is still stuck in manual mode, you’re not alone. Many businesses initially rely on manual processes for managing Siemens Teamcenter licenses. While this has worked traditionally, this also typically leads to common issues such as:
Endless Email Chains
Requests for access come through email, which are often unclear and require back-and-forth communication for clarification.
Manual Configuration
IT teams spend valuable time manually configuring access for each user, which is a process prone to errors and inconsistencies.
Limited Visibility and Security
It’s difficult to track who has access to what software and for what purpose when using manual methods. This makes it hard to optimize license usage and ensure data security.
These manual processes become increasingly cumbersome as your team grows. The oil field services company, facing this very issue, needed a more efficient and streamlined approach. This struggle isn’t unique to oil field services companies – businesses of all sizes and industries grapple with processes such as managing licenses for various platforms like Salesforce and ERP systems.
Building a Better Way with Low-Code Development

Addressing the pressing need to optimize their license request and management processes, Rapid App Werks, a Mendix partner and expert in low-code development, developed the company’s Teamcenter License Management custom application. This user-friendly app transformed the company’s approach to license requests, and the app’s core principles may be adapted to your specific needs as well. Here’s how the custom app worked for the company:
Users can now submit clear and concise requests through an intuitive interface. No more wading through email threads – everything is organized and easy to understand.
Automated Provisioning
No more manual configuration as well. Once a request is approved, the app integrates seamlessly with the database and automatically provisions the user’s account with the correct settings.
Enhanced Visibility and Management
Managers gain a centralized dashboard with a clear view of all license requests. This allows for improved monitoring of the approval process and ensures timely responses.
Data-Driven Decisions
The app includes a usage dashboard that tracks license utilization and generates reports. This empowers data-driven decisions about resource allocation and license management.
User Self-Service
The application also empowers users to take control of their own licenses. They can deactivate or extend their licenses as needed, reducing the burden on IT teams and even fostering a sense of ownership.
The Results and Benefits: Streamlined Operations and Cost Savings
License management doesn’t have to be slow and painstaking. The impact of the Teamcenter License Management application that Rapid App Werks built for the oil field services company extends far beyond a smoother workflow. It also delivers real, quantifiable benefits that translate directly to business value as well. Here’s how:
Increased Efficiency
The streamlined request and approval process eliminated delays and bottlenecks, freeing up valuable time for both IT and users.
Improved Accuracy
Automated provisioning ensures users have the correct access levels, minimizing the risk of errors and security breaches.
Enhanced Visibility
Managers have a clear picture of license usage, allowing for better resource allocation and cost optimization.
Empowered Users
Self-service features give users more control over their licenses, which not only fosters a sense of ownership but also reduces the IT workload.
Why Low-Code Development Was the Perfect Fit
Traditional coding can be a slow and resource-intensive process, making it ill-suited for immediate challenges. The oil field services company needed a faster and more efficient way to manage their Teamcenter license requests, so low-code development was the ideal solution for this project. It can be for yours as well. Here’s why:
Faster Development
Compared to traditional coding, low-code development allows for rapid application creation. This was crucial for the oil field services company facing immediate challenges that needed immediate results. With low-code, you can get a functional application up and running in weeks, not months or years. In fact, with Rapid App Werks, the company was able to get a functioning custom application in 6 weeks when it would have taken years to complete through traditional coding.
Reduced Costs
Low-code platforms often utilize subscription-based pricing, offering a more predictable cost structure compared to traditional development, which can involve expensive licensing fees and developer salaries.
Simplified Development
The user-friendly interface empowers users with minimal coding experience to contribute. This encourages collaboration between business users and IT, and ensures the application aligns with specific needs and streamlines communication throughout development.
