Case Study: Northern Trust achieves strategic business alignment with Flexera One (Flexera)

Financial institution’s enriched SAM data pays strategic business dividends

Northern Trust, a leading financial institution, needed better IT visibility to align IT with business decision makers. The organization sought improved software license compliance, clearer insight into technical debt and license optimization opportunities, tighter recovery and release management tied to license inventory, and stronger handling of support/end-of-life and cloud financials.

Partnering with Anglepoint and implementing the Flexera One ITAM and FinOps suite, Northern Trust established a collaborative strategic partnership and a “Collaborative Quartet” data model that shares trusted data across ITAM, ITSM, IT financial management and procure-to-pay. The integrated entitlements, deployments and financials produced accurate license positions, sustained compliance, avoided adversarial audits, strengthened vendor relationships, and delivered measurable business outcomes—enabling better decisions and a move toward greater cloud visibility and FinOps discipline.
