Case Study: University of York Saves £300K Annually with Lansweeper

University of York Reduces IT Spending with £300,000 Annually

The University of York, a research university in England with more than 13,000 IT assets, struggled to manage the surge of devices connecting to its network during and after COVID-19. With no centralized visibility into remote and personal devices, the IT team relied on spreadsheets and fragmented tracking systems, making it difficult to control spending, streamline procurement, and protect unmanaged devices. To solve this, the university turned to Lansweeper.

Using Lansweeper’s agent-based asset discovery and reporting capabilities, the University of York centralized visibility across its IT estate and used the data for procurement, support, security, and asset tracking. The result was better device management, faster ticket resolution, stronger security oversight, and around £300,000 in annual IT savings.
