Case Study: Güdel Group AG achieves flexible cloud licensing with COMPAREX

Güdel Group AG - Customer Case Study

Güdel Group AG, a global automation technology and mechanical engineering company with about 1,200 employees, needed a more flexible Microsoft licensing approach when its Enterprise Agreement expired. The company worked with COMPAREX to review its IT strategy, server and client requirements, and future cloud plans in order to find a model with better flexibility and price-performance.

COMPAREX recommended the Microsoft Product and Service Agreement (MPSA), which let Güdel shift to the cloud gradually and adjust licensing to actual usage to avoid overlicensing and underlicensing. With COMPAREX’s guidance, Güdel gained a scalable, future-proof licensing model that supports international growth, IoT initiatives, and cloud services like SharePoint and Skype for Business, while aligning costs more closely with real demand.
