Case Study: Christchurch City Council avoids NZ$250,000 in IT costs with Flexera

Christchurch City Council avoids NZ$250,000 in year one with Flexera

Christchurch City Council faced a challenge with outdated IT systems that provided very little visibility into its assets and software consumption. This lack of data hindered the Council's effectiveness and made it difficult to manage costs and compliance. To modernize its IT asset management, the Council chose to implement solutions from vendor Flexera, including Snow Spend Optimizer.

Flexera's solutions provided the Council with a validated inventory and real-time insights into its IT environment. This enabled the Council to accurately remodel its Microsoft licenses, delete hundreds of surplus user seats, and discover unknown SaaS applications. As a result, Flexera helped the Council avoid NZ$250,000 in costs and achieve NZ$150,000 in savings on Microsoft licenses within the first year, transforming its IT foundation.
