Case Study: U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs achieves FITARA A rating in Software Licensing with 1E AppClarity

How 1E helped the US Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) take their FITARA Software Asset Management score from F to A

1E partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to solve massive software asset management (SAM) challenges across one of the world’s largest and most complex IT estates — 500,000+ devices, virtualized and clustered environments, 1,200+ software vendors, and many fragmented inventory tools and data sources. The VA needed a single, normalized, de-duplicated view of the environment capable of processing hundreds of millions of records to control license spend, ensure compliance, and defend against audits.

Using 1E AppClarity and expert services, the VA consolidated ~20 data sources into a single pane of glass, deployed an ISO 19770-3‑based entitlement repository, validated and de-duplicated data, calculated license demand for complex products, and automated reclamation/uninstallation of unused software. The result: the VA achieved a FITARA A rating for Software Licensing across multiple cycles, can manage more than $3 billion in entitlements, defend audits and true-ups more easily, reduce licensing costs, and improve cybersecurity posture.
