Case Study: Major Global Financial Services Company achieves 1,400% ROI and major license-cost savings with Flexera's FlexNet Manager Suite

Global Financial Services Company Realizes Large ROI with FlexNet Manager Suite

A major global financial services company—ranked among the top 20 worldwide with assets exceeding a trillion dollars and hundreds of thousands of employees—faced uncontrolled software spending and lacked the hard data to challenge a multi‑million dollar vendor compliance claim. Decentralized procurement practices had led to over‑licensing and left the bank exposed ahead of two large corporate license renewals.

The bank deployed Flexera’s FlexNet Manager Suite and engaged Flexera consultants to implement a corporation‑wide SAM solution integrated with BMC ADDM and SCCM, rapidly collecting installation, usage and entitlement data. By applying license optimization, reallocation, entitlement modeling and cleanup of unused maintenance, the bank negotiated two renewals that yielded an estimated 15x+ return (1,400% ROI) over five years and first‑year hard savings more than double the implementation investment, while reducing audit risk and automating manual processes.
