Case Study: Leading IT Managed Service Provider achieves scalable SAM services with Flexera FlexNet Manager Suite

IT Managed Service Provider Creates Scalable SAM Service Based on FlexNet Manager Suite

The Leading IT Managed Service Provider needed a scalable software asset management service to support many enterprise clients, reduce software license compliance risk, and produce accurate reports showing licenses consumed versus entitlements. Using Flexera’s FlexNet Manager Suite for Enterprises, the company replaced its homegrown SAM technology to meet contractual obligations and better manage complex licensing requirements.

Flexera’s FlexNet Manager Suite enabled a three-phase managed service process—rationalize entitlement, action plan, and run and maintain—backed by automated SKU reconciliation and product use rights analysis. As a result, the provider expanded its SAM managed services to more than 40 enterprise accounts, managing over 500,000 hardware assets and 60,000 software titles, while achieving internal cost savings and faster deployments in 60–90 days with ROI as fast as six months.
