Case Study: Serta Simmons Bedding achieves $5M in technology savings with Ardoq

Serta Simmons Bedding saves $5M in 2 years with Ardoq

Serta Simmons Bedding, a major North American mattress manufacturer, faced significant pressure to cut costs after emerging from bankruptcy. Their challenge was to uncover substantial savings within their sprawling technology portfolio, which was plagued by shadow IT, application redundancy, and a lack of unified contract tracking. The company turned to the vendor Ardoq and its EA platform to transform scattered data into a strategic asset for identifying cost-saving opportunities.

Using Ardoq, the team built a custom metamodel to pull together fragmented data from across the business, creating a clear view of technology spend. This allowed them to identify duplicate applications, renegotiate expiring contracts, and shift to more favorable subscription terms. The solution delivered over $5 million in technology savings in under two years, positioning the Enterprise Architecture team as a trusted strategic partner and enabling proactive, data-led decision-making.
