Case Study: Pitney Bowes MapInfo achieves streamlined global licensing and improved entitlement tracking with Flexera

Pitney Bowes MapInfo Matches Its Solutions’ World-Class Capabilities with Licensing Solutions from Flexera Software

Pitney Bowes MapInfo, a global leader in location intelligence serving more than 7,000 businesses and government organizations, needed to replace a fragmented, largely manual licensing approach that varied by product and region. The legacy system limited MapInfo’s ability to track and analyze product usage, constrained customer licensing options, and made global consistency and revenue recognition difficult—so the company launched a careful, communication-focused effort to standardize licensing worldwide.

MapInfo implemented Flexera’s FlexNet Publisher and FlexNet Operations to automate trials, activations and entitlement management and integrate licensing with back-end financial systems. The rollout delivered a single licensing code base and portal, smoother day-to-day operations, centralized tracking of remote regions, far more accurate activation and usage data, expanded customer deployment options, and improved support and sales insights—with minimal disruption to customers.
