Case Study: Large Global Enterprise achieves $4.5M license reclamation and $3.5M renewal savings with Flexera App Portal

Customer Realizes Millions in Savings with App Portal

A large global enterprise with more than 150,000 employees and over 70,000 devices faced rising software costs and imminent Microsoft and Adobe license renewals. Seeking to cut unnecessary spend and improve software utilization, the company launched a reclamation campaign to identify and recover unused licenses ahead of contract negotiations.

Using Flexera App Portal’s My Apps automated reclamation, the organization targeted Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Project; within one week they removed over 10,000 installations, reclaimed more than $4.5M in license value and realized $3.5M in hard-dollar savings during renewal negotiations. The campaign recovered 5,150 Project installs (valued at over $3M), ~ $1.5M in Visio, and 175 Acrobat Pro installs, all with minimal employee impact and quick self-service reinstallation options.
