Case Study: EDEKA Digital saves €6.2 million on SAP licensing with Flexera Snow Optimizer

Edeka Digital saves €6.2 million on SAP licenses with Flexera

EDEKA DIGITAL, the IT service provider for Germany's EDEKA Group retail cooperative, faced a formidable challenge in managing its diverse SAP software licenses for 400,000 users. The time-consuming and unreliable process led to high costs and inefficiencies, with license costs reaching €7.5 million without optimization. They sought a solution to streamline processes, reduce audit preparation time, and optimize license allocations to achieve significant savings.

The vendor Flexera provided its Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software solution, which was deployed swiftly and provided enterprise-wide visibility into license usage. This enabled EDEKA DIGITAL to optimize its license allocations and prepare for audits much more efficiently. As a result, Flexera helped the customer save €6.2 million by reducing additional license costs from €7.5 million to just €1.3 million, while also freeing up time for value-add tasks.
