Case Study: Zollner achieves SAP license cost savings and compliance with Flexera FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications

Switching on license management for an electronic manufacturing services provider

Zollner, an electronic manufacturing system provider with about 9,000 employees serving automotive, aerospace, industrial electronics and other sectors, depends on SAP Business Suite across its operations. Managing SAP licenses proved complex—especially with a mix of permanent and temporary staff—and Zollner lacked visibility into who used which SAP functions, creating risk of costly true-up bills and inefficient license spending.

Zollner implemented FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications to centralize usage data, automate license classification and support an internal chargeback model. The solution was quick to deploy, delivers monthly reports for forecasting and budgeting, improved compliance and audit risk, and cut costs by avoiding unnecessary license purchases (roughly 20–30 licenses saved per year).
