Case Study: Bathroom and Sanitary ware Manufacturer achieves global software compliance and license optimization with Certero for Enterprise SAM

Driving compliance and optimization with advanced SAM

Bathroom and Sanitary ware Manufacturer, a global producer of high-quality bathroom products with over 12,000 employees and operations in 25+ countries, needed an accurate view of software across a large IT estate (1,200 laptops, 2,000 desktops and 400 servers) including remote sites and field users. The organization required at least a 95% asset discovery rate, precise software recognition and reconciliation, and license compliance visibility by business unit — and selected Certero (Certero for Enterprise SAM) to meet those needs.

Certero delivered Certero for Enterprise SAM following a free 30-day proof-of-concept that outperformed an alternative solution and exceeded all success criteria. The structured rollout achieved exceptional discovery rates (surpassing the 95% target) and finished two weeks ahead of schedule, providing a unified hardware/software view, real-time BI, and an Effective License Position. Certero’s Microsoft Licensing Module clarified SQL and virtual licensing, and the AppsMonitor and software delivery capabilities enabled redistribution of unused licenses, standardized deployments and measurable cost reduction.
