Case Study: Health Trust achieves software license optimization and cost control with Certero for Enterprise SAM

Assuring compliance, optimizing licensing and controlling cost with Certero SAM technology & services

Health Trust, a major UK teaching hospital, had little verified insight into its software compliance, licensing position or IT estate risk. After evaluating options the Trust selected Certero and its Certero for Enterprise SAM solution (plus SAM Managed Service) to rapidly improve visibility, control licensing and contain software costs.

Certero deployed Certero for Enterprise SAM and its SAM Managed Service to collect detailed software and hardware data, produce an Optimized License Position, and establish procurement and compliance processes with ongoing reporting. The result was fast, accurate estate visibility, reduced over‑subscription of licenses, lower software procurement costs, enforced Software License Optimization and a de‑risked position for vendor audits — with software now only procured when a licensing shortfall exists.
