Case Study: Large Financial Services Organization achieves stronger license compliance and audit defense with Flexera

Visibility and audit defense grow with compliance modernization in financial services

Large Financial Services Organization lacked a formal software asset management process to calculate license compliance for server software such as IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft, and was relying on spreadsheets and discovery tools to track purchases and usage. It evaluated Flexera and ServiceNow, then chose Flexera FlexNet Manager Suite for its mature compliance metrics before later moving to Flexera One.

Flexera implemented a centralized license repository tied to purchase orders, automated license use-right creation from SKUs, and supported compliance tracking for hardware metrics like core, PVU, and vCPU. As a result, the organization gained much better visibility into license data, became more confident during audits, and used Flexera data to defend a recent vendor audit and avoid a significant fee.
