Case Study: Global Toy Company achieves audit readiness and consolidated IT visibility with Flexera

Global toy company makes a move to win the audit game

A global toy, board game and entertainment company with more than $5 billion in revenue and about 6,000 employees — managing over 7,000 Microsoft endpoints and 1,500 Macs — faced frequent internal and external software audits that required detailed, regionally sliced answers about IT assets. IT staff spent days manually reconciling multiple inventory systems in Excel and researching market data (EOL, compatibility, version sprawl) to satisfy auditors and internal stakeholders.

Flexera consolidated inventory from Microsoft System Center and JAMF, normalized and enriched it with Technopedia market data, and delivered Power BI dashboards that aggregated and cleaned data from 8,500 endpoints. Stakeholders could self-serve standardized regional reports (hardware lifecycle, security agent coverage, Windows 10 compatibility), audits became easier to handle, and IT resources were freed to focus on strategic initiatives.
