Why OwnUsage exists
Most enterprises discover their software waste at renewal time — a spreadsheet, a shocked CFO, and a licence count nobody can defend. The tooling that was supposed to watch the estate is itself another subscription, with its own blind spots and its own renewal. OwnUsage exists to make consumption a first-class, continuously measured fact of the platform rather than an annual archaeology project.
Because OwnUsage is also the metering backbone for Own360 itself, the same counters that meter the AI runtime meter everything else. A Redis-backed quota service enforces per-app, per-tenant limits atomically; utilisation, budget, and anomaly views cover every connected product; and every OwnIQ request emits a usage event that lands in billing with full attribution.
Meter every app. Surface every wasted dollar.
What it replaces
Most teams reach OwnUsage after running into the limits of the legacy stack:
- Zylo — utilisation, budget, and anomaly dashboards across the whole estate are built in — not sampled from browser plugins.
- Productiv — engagement analytics come straight from the platform's own event stream, so there is no agent to deploy and no data leaving your boundary.
- Cledara — preserved as a familiar reference point but no longer required for the workflow.
Capabilities in detail
- Quota Service. Atomic Redis counters with TTL buckets enforce per-app, per-tenant limits in real time.
- Cost & Utilisation. Track spend and usage across every connected app, surfacing idle seats and shelfware before the invoice does.
- Anomaly Alerts. Consumption spikes, runaway jobs, and unusual access patterns flagged as they happen — with the owner on the notification.
- AI Runtime Metering. Every OwnIQ request emits a usage event: model, tokens, tenant, purpose. Billing reads the same ledger you audit.
- Budget Guardrails. Set budgets per team or app; approaching thresholds notify, exceeded thresholds can throttle — your policy, enforced.
The numbers that matter
Who uses OwnUsage
CFO / FinOps: See utilisation, budget burn, and anomalies across every app — kill the 50%+ of licences nobody uses. Platform Owner: Set per-app, per-tenant quotas and get alerted before consumption blows the budget. Billing: Meter the AI runtime accurately — every OwnIQ call is a usage event, attributed per tenant.
Frequently asked questions
What is OwnUsage?
OwnUsage is the Own360 product for “Meter every app. Surface every wasted dollar.” in the Operations layer — saaS usage and cost intelligence for the whole estate — and the metering backbone for Own360 itself. A Redis-backed quota service tracks utilisation, budgets, and anomalies per tenant and per app, and meters the AI runtime from OwnIQ usage events.
How does OwnUsage fit into the Own360 stack?
OwnUsage runs on top of the Own360 control plane — sharing identity, permissions, audit, and workflow services with every other Own product. There is no separate SSO setup, separate audit log, or separate integration layer. The same governance and event bus apply.
Is OwnUsage self-hosted?
Yes. The entire Own360 platform — including OwnUsage — is designed to run inside your VPC, your on-prem data centre, or a sovereign cloud. Source-available with perpetual licensing; no per-seat tax, no data egress, no telemetry leaving your boundary.
