Case Study: a large university achieves $7.4 million in cost avoidance with Crayon IBM and Oracle optimization

IBM and Oracle optimization uncovers mass savings

A large university in California proactively engaged with software vendor Crayon for preventative audit care. Fearing a costly and burdensome IBM or Oracle audit like one rumored at a neighboring institution, the university sought Crayon's services to avoid this potential financial and operational disruption.

Crayon implemented an IBM and Oracle Healthcheck and Baseline service for the university. This solution provided a detailed analysis and recommendations for optimization, which resulted in significant cost avoidance and savings of $7.4 million. The success of the project led the university to further engage Crayon for an ongoing managed service, rewarding their proactive approach with both audit protection and massive savings.
