Case Study: Longcroft School achieves full control of software assets and license compliance with License Dashboard

Longcroft School - Customer Case Study

Longcroft School, a secondary school seeking to protect and optimise a growing ICT budget, faced challenges in understanding its software license position, tracking deployed software and staying compliant with vendor agreements. To address the risk of buying incorrect, insufficient or excess licenses, Longcroft School selected License Dashboard’s Schools Edition (with Dashboard Discovery) to gain visibility and control over its software estate.

License Dashboard, implemented alongside services from Phoenix Software, provided a single interface to discover installed software, aggregate license evidence and automate lifecycle management. The solution let Longcroft School report what it may install, how many licenses are allocated or free, and receive maintenance renewal alerts—removing error-prone spreadsheets, improving purchasing and negotiating decisions, and significantly reducing the risk of overspend and loss of entitlement.
