Case Study: Hill International achieves IT automation and cost savings with LANDesk

Geographically Dispersed Network Requires Automation

Hill International, a global construction management firm with 3,100 employees across 100 offices in 32 countries, was struggling to manage 2,500 PCs manually. The lack of accurate inventory made it hard to control costs, enforce software licensing compliance, support a Windows 7 migration, and handle remote repairs across a highly dispersed network. Hill International chose Landesk, using LANDesk® Management Suite to replace spreadsheets and manual processes with centralized automation and control.

With Landesk, Hill International gained real-time inventory, remote management, and automated migration capabilities, allowing the IT team to manage devices anywhere and reclaim unused licenses. The results were substantial: ROI in three months, about $200,000 saved in migration licensing fees, $240,000 in annual software maintenance cost avoidance, a $300,000 hardware discount, $400,000 saved on migration costs, and $200,000 saved annually in staff costs. Landesk also reduced maintenance downtime from 48 hours to four hours, improving productivity across the company.
