A COMPAREX Case Study
Bank Koltso Urala, a Russian finance company with 67 divisions across 53 cities and settlements, needed better control over software assets and license balances across a widely distributed IT environment. The bank used Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) for inventory, but tracking software usage and collecting reliable license data was labor-intensive and difficult to manage internally. COMPAREX provided its SAM2GO software asset management service to address these challenges.
COMPAREX implemented SAM2GO with SCCM and additional SAM2GO Inventory data to improve transparency, reliability, and legal and financial risk control. The solution gave Bank Koltso Urala real-time access to license balance status via the SAM2GO Dashboard and quarterly recommendations for software consolidation and harmonization. As a result, the bank reduced idle installed software and optimized its IT budget, with the IT team already seeing benefits during implementation.
