How ROIQ works

One lightweight agent. Three data domains. A role-aware platform that starts at the executive summary and lets every stakeholder descend to the exact level of detail they need.

Deploy the ROIQ agent

One lightweight binary deployed on any machine that can reach your data sources — license servers, storage systems, version control, and job schedulers. Nothing installed on engineer workstations. Up in minutes.

Data flows automatically

The agent continuously collects metadata from all configured sources — license logs, disk usage, VCS commits, job records, JIRA activity. Metadata only: file names, sizes, timestamps, access patterns. Never source code or design data.

Every stakeholder sees their view

ROIQ surfaces role-aware dashboards automatically. A BU Director gets the 30,000 ft budget and capacity view. A CAD manager gets tool utilization and renewal readiness. A project manager gets team activity and storage by project. All from the same data.

🔑 License Analytics

Know exactly what you're paying for — and what you're not using

ROIQ automatically ingests FlexLM and RLM checkout logs from every license server, maps raw feature strings to vendor products and categories, and delivers real-time and historical utilization analytics your entire team can act on.

✓Feature mapping — raw FlexLM strings like virtuoso_xl_3 become "Cadence · Virtuoso · Custom IC Design"

✓Denied checkout analytics — identify which tools are undersupplied before renewal

✓Renewal forecasting — headcount-adjusted demand projections backed by real checkout history

✓Price-based cost analysis — map utilization to actual license costs and identify dollar waste

Capacity forecast: 90 days to limit

At current growth rate, storage expansion needed by Q3

💾 Storage Analytics

Know what's filling your storage — before it's a crisis

ROIQ collects file metadata from your NFS, or Lustre storage systems and organizes it by project, team, and file type — giving IT and engineering leadership a clear picture of where capacity is going and where stale data can be reclaimed.

✓Per-project storage breakdown — who's using what, and how fast it's growing

✓Stale data identification — flag files not accessed in 90+ days across any project

✓Capacity forecasting — project when you'll hit storage limits based on current growth

✓File-type breakdown — understand what kinds of data are consuming the most space

📊 Engineering Activity

Connect the dots between tools, teams, and output

ROIQ connects activity signals from version control, compute job schedulers, and project tracking into a unified view of where your engineering effort is going — without touching source code or design data.

✓VCS activity — commit frequency, branch activity, team contribution patterns (SOS/Git/Perforce)

✓Compute job analytics — LSF and Slurm job history, queue wait times, resource utilization

✓JIRA integration — milestone progress, ticket velocity, backlog trends by project

✓Cross-domain correlation — license usage + storage growth + team activity = true engineering picture

✦ Remix Reports Flagship Feature

Every report is a starting point

Any report across any of the three data domains can be remixed — change filters, groupings, date ranges, and metrics in seconds, then publish a new variant without involving IT or the CAD team.

✦BU Director remixes a license utilization report into a budget exposure summary

✦IT Admin remixes a storage report to focus on one team's fastest-growing directories

✦Project Manager remixes an activity report to show only their project's tool and storage spend

✦Procurement remixes a renewal report into a vendor-ready negotiation package

Your IP never leaves your environment

ROIQ is metadata-only by design. The ROIQ agent reads file names, sizes, timestamps, access patterns, job records, and usage logs — never file contents, source code, schematics, or any design data.

✓File names, sizes, and timestamps — yes

✓Tool checkout events and job records — yes

✓Commit frequency and branch activity — yes

✕Source code, netlists, or design files — never

✕File contents of any kind — never

Designed for IP-sensitive environments

Semiconductor and EDA organizations operate under strict IP protection requirements. ROIQ's metadata-only architecture means it can be deployed without security review escalation in most environments.

On-premise option available

For organizations that require data to stay entirely within their infrastructure, the ROIQ Startup on-premise edition is in development. Contact us for early access.
