Case Study: Leading Automotive Supplying Company cuts license management time by 50% with Aspera SmartTrack

Leading automotive supplier cuts time spent on license management in half

Leading Automotive Supplying Company, a publicly listed automotive supplier with about 230,000 employees, needed to replace manual software asset management processes and gain automated Microsoft license compliance across roughly 100,000 workstations. Aspera Technologies provided the SmartTrack SAM platform to help the company manage complex Microsoft usage rights, improve data quality, and stay ready for audits at any time.

Aspera Technologies implemented SmartTrack within a few weeks, consolidating data from multiple sources and giving global, divisional, and local license managers real-time visibility into license balances and usage. The result was a 50% reduction in time spent on strategic SAM, better license consolidation, fewer future purchases, and full transparency that uncovered more available licenses than expected, enabling significant cost savings and improved financial planning.
