Case Study: Medavie Blue Cross achieves software compliance, cost savings, and stronger security with Express Metrix

Medavie Blue Cross - Customer Case Study

Medavie Blue Cross, a Canadian health insurance provider with 1,800 desktops and 250 servers across Eastern Canada, struggled to track software licenses, control unauthorized installs, and keep up with manual compliance audits. After uncovering serious licensing and security risks, the company turned to Express Metrix and its Express Software Manager product to get visibility into its software assets and usage.

Express Metrix implemented automated software inventory, license reconciliation, usage tracking, and application control so Medavie Blue Cross could centralize purchasing, enforce approved software policies, and shut down risky applications. The results included avoiding more than $400,000 in potential copyright penalties, saving over $100,000 annually by cutting unused maintenance and renegotiating contracts, and improving security enough to earn Medavie recognition for its software asset management program.
