Case Study: KCB Bank Kenya Limited achieves $23.3M in IT cost avoidance with Flexera

KCB Bank Kenya Limited avoids $23.3M in IT costs with Flexera

KCB Bank Kenya Limited, East Africa's largest banking group, faced significant challenges with limited visibility into its complex IT environment, which included on-premises systems, multiple cloud platforms, and a growing number of SaaS applications. This lack of insight, with visibility below 40%, increased its exposure to costly software audits and made governance difficult. To address this, the bank partnered with Flexera, initially implementing their Snow Inventory and Snow License Manager solutions.

By deploying Flexera's solutions, KCB centralized its IT asset data and later transitioned to the cloud-based Snow Atlas platform, supplemented with Flexera One SaaS Management and Flexera One Cloud Cost Optimization. This provided the bank with 98% asset visibility, a 145% improvement. As a result, KCB successfully defended against audits, avoided $23.3 million in IT costs, and achieved a 48% return on investment with a payback period of just seven months.
