Is it currently more important for companies to restrict AI usage than to prioritize AI adoption?
Omnissa has released the beta version of Elara, an AI governance product designed to track token usage and manage permissions across both internal and third-party systems. The software aims to address the prevalence of unsanctioned AI tools currently running on enterprise-managed devices.
Why it matters
Companies are struggling to manage autonomous agents and fragmented AI tools that operate outside of existing authorization frameworks. Omnissa’s approach integrates policy enforcement at a layer above current infrastructure to provide oversight across multi-platform environments.
Elara provides visibility by recording decision chains in real time, including system authorizations. It tracks token consumption across different AI providers to help companies monitor costs and usage patterns.
The players
Omnissa
An independent software company providing management and security infrastructure for 26,000 customers worldwide.
The details
Elara functions as a management layer that sits above existing security tools rather than replacing them. The software connects disparate systems and applies consistent policy and permission structures to proposed AI actions. This allows it to govern multi-platform interactions that traditional system-specific authorization tools cannot reach.

The Tech Race
Omnissa is entering the increasingly crowded market for AI governance and monitoring tools. The company’s focus on a multi-system gateway positions it against specialized security providers that often lack the cross-platform integration necessary for managing decentralized corporate AI tools.
Enterprise IT departments can use the Elara beta to gain visibility into unsanctioned AI tools and centralize token tracking across various providers. Access to the product currently requires engagement with Omnissa's existing customer base of 26,000 organizations.
The takeaway
Omnissa's move signals a shift toward centralized AI oversight in response to widespread tool fragmentation. Readers should monitor the beta for performance benchmarks regarding how Elara handles latency when enforcing policies across high-traffic AI model interactions.
