Case Study: Fernholz achieves controlled software management and license compliance with Deskcenter

Software Management under control instead of ‘uncontrolled growth’ with Deskcenter

W. u. H. Fernholz GmbH & Co. KG, a manufacturer of plastic packaging and sheet products, needed better control over a highly complex IT environment across two sites. With limited IT staff, they struggled with an unclear software landscape, missing documentation, weak user/system allocation, no license compliance, and poor cost control in contract management. Fernholz chose Deskcenter Management Suite to bring software and license management under control.

With Deskcenter, Fernholz automated software deployment, improved inventory and user assignment, and gained clear visibility into which software and licenses were installed, missing, or unused. Deskcenter also helped standardize software such as Adobe Reader, prepare for audits, and keep contract documentation current, reducing manual effort and unnecessary relicensing costs. The result was a more stable IT environment, faster response to issues, and less workload for the small IT team.
