Case Study: Rentokil Initial achieves over $1M in license savings and reduced compliance risk with Flexera's FlexNet Manager for Microsoft

How FlexNet Manager for Microsoft enabled Rentokil Initial to discover that it was over-licensed by more than $1 million in just its UK offices

Rentokil Initial is a global business services company with 79,000 employees across 49 countries. Rapid growth, including many acquisitions, left software procurement fragmented and created license compliance risk and uncontrolled spending, driving the need for a centralized software asset management (SAM) solution to meet governance standards like FAST and ITIL.

Rentokil deployed FlexNet Manager for Microsoft to centralize inventory, usage, contracts and license compliance. The SAM program revealed more than $1 million of over‑licensing in the UK, prompted a temporary purchasing freeze, reduced compliance risk, improved reporting and decision‑making, and set the stage to extend license optimization to servers, virtualization and web services.
