Case Study: Land Information New Zealand achieves up to 90% annual discovery cost savings with Device42

Land Information New Zealand Saves Up to 90% in Discovery Costs Annually

Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), the government agency responsible for geospatial and land information, needed to migrate a complex set of GEO applications to AWS and Azure over a three‑year program while ensuring business continuity. Supporting about 1,200 users and up to 600 VMs, the team found existing discovery tools produced incomplete, unreliable dependency data and required frequent (7–10) costly discovery exercises.

LINZ selected Device42 (with implementation support from partner TDS) to deliver full visibility and dependency mapping as a single source of truth and to integrate with their ITSM. Device42 cut discovery costs by up to 90% (even on a conservative six‑exercise estimate), reduced manual effort, enabled bringing services like capacity management in‑house, improved license rationalization, and gave architects clear business‑to‑technology mapping to support the cloud migration.
