Opus (task mining)
Application intelligence: where work time goes by application, and how usage compares with licensed seats
Application intelligence shows where work time and cost go, application by application. Opus (task mining) measures it on Windows desktops and compares measured use with your licensed seats and with the roles that use each application.
What is application intelligence?
Application intelligence is evidence of which applications and websites people use at work, for how long and at what cost.
The wider market calls this area workforce and application intelligence. In Optimus Hive, application intelligence covers application usage, the time and cost behind it, and how usage compares with the seats you hold.
See time and cost by application
Opus shows which applications and websites teams use, and how much recorded time and cost goes to each, grouped by category.
Application data comes from the same desktop agent as the rest of Opus task mining software, under the same privacy policy.
Browser-based applications included
Web applications count too: where your department's settings allow, Opus records the website in use in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Brave.
Costed at department rates
Recorded time is costed at the department's hourly or daily rate, in the department's currency.
Figures you can trace
Save any figure with its source records and definition, and reopen it later with the same numbers.
Excel exports
Export any data table to Excel for your own analysis.
Compare usage with licensed seats and roles
Opus compares measured application usage with the number of licensed seats, and with the business positions (roles) that use each application.
Seats against measured use
See where the measured use of an application differs from the number of seats you license.
Usage by role
See which business positions use which applications, and how much.
Your team decides Opus supplies the usage evidence. Your team decides what to do about seats, access or ways of working.
Optional views your administrators control
Two further views depend on your administrators: AI-tool use, which is off by default, and the installed-software inventory, which comes with the Security add-on.
Where people use AI tools
Where an administrator turns it on, see where people use the AI tools you list. The view is off by default.
Installed software
With the Security add-on, list the programs installed on each PC, with version and publisher.
The product behind application intelligence
Opus (task mining) provides application intelligence from the desktop activity it already records.
Application intelligence FAQ
Short answers on licensed seats, web applications and application use by role.
Can Opus show whether licensed seats are actually used?
Yes: Opus compares measured application usage with the number of licensed seats, so you can see where the two differ. The usage comes from Windows desktops where Opus collects data under your published privacy policy.
Does application intelligence cover web applications?
Yes, through the websites people use: Opus records the active website address in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Brave, so browser-based applications appear beside desktop ones. Website capture depends on your department's settings.
Can we see application usage by job role?
Yes: Opus compares application usage across business positions, the roles you define, so you can see which roles use which applications and how much.
