Case Study: Banking Group gains full visibility and licensing control across Microsoft, Oracle and IBM estates with Certero

How a Banking Group took control of their Microsoft, Oracle and IBM estate with Certero

Banking Group, one of the largest banks in its Asia Pacific country, needed to manage a complex software estate spanning Microsoft, Oracle and IBM environments across more than 9,000 devices and virtual platforms (VMware, Hyper‑V, Red Hat KVM). They selected Certero—deploying Certero for Enterprise SAM, Certero for IBM and a Subscription to the Software Recognition Database—to complement existing utilities and deliver enterprise-grade software asset and licensing lifecycle management.

Certero ran POCs for Certero for Enterprise SAM, Certero for Oracle and Certero for IBM to capture a complete, accurate inventory and demonstrated fast deployment, high automation and flexible support. As a result, Banking Group gained full visibility of software from desktop to datacenter, real‑time Effective License Positions (ELPs), easy management reporting and far less manual intervention—enabling optimized licensing, tighter cost control and better-informed investment decisions.
