Case Study: Largest Family-Owned Winery achieves simpler IT audits and US$20,000 annual savings with NetIQ

Largest Family-Owned Winery - Customer Case Study

The Largest Family-Owned Winery, the world’s largest family-owned winery and largest exporter of California wine, needed a simpler way to manage IT monitoring as its server, operating system, and application environment grew more complex. Using NetIQ AppManager, the winery struggled with multiple license sets and audit challenges that made it hard to expand coverage without driving up IT costs.

NetIQ implemented a new licensing model for AppManager, allowing the winery to repurpose hardware, switch operating systems, and monitor new applications without adding licensing complexity. This helped the winery expand coverage, simplify audits, lock in fixed multi-year support pricing, and save US$20,000 per year in maintenance and license costs.
