Case Study: Leeds City Council achieves US$127K annual savings and licensing compliance with Oracle License Management Services

Leeds City Council Cuts Costs and Reduces Risk with Licensing Review

Leeds City Council, the local authority serving the city of Leeds (35,000 employees), needed to validate its Oracle licensing after a recent infrastructure upgrade while meeting strict council cost‑reduction targets. The council faced a tight two‑month deadline to confirm true license requirements, eliminate compliance risk, avoid over‑licensing, and improve visibility and automation of its software asset management.

Partnering with Oracle License Management Services, Leeds completed a licensing true‑up in two months, ran scripts to establish a clear baseline, and implemented an automated licensing tool. The council reduced licenses and support costs to save US$127K annually, removed the risk of non‑compliance, improved asset visibility and processes, and established an ongoing relationship with Oracle LMS for future licensing support.
