Case Study: Global Packaged Goods Company achieves $36M in savings and license compliance with Flexera

Global packaged goods company wraps up $36 million in savings with SAM changes

A global packaged goods company with more than 100,000 employees in 75 countries had no software asset management (SAM) or software license optimization (SLO) tools or expertise, resulting in frequent vendor audits, out-of-compliance findings and tens of millions in unbudgeted expenses as employees purchased software outside corporate agreements.

Flexera deployed an enterprise SLO solution and managed services—leveraging FlexNet Manager for SAP, Oracle and desktop software—established license reclaim processes and an enterprise app store, and provided ongoing consulting. Within 18 months the company saved more than $36 million, stopped Oracle and SAP audits (which now accept Flexera’s audit reports), remains in compliance and continues to realize recurring savings.
