Case Study: Orbit Group achieves software licence control and compliance peace of mind with Phoenix Software Focus Service

Orbit Group is one of the largest housing providers in the UK, employing over 1,500 people and managing around 38,000 homes

Orbit Group, one of the UK’s largest housing providers, needed a better way to manage a complex IT estate of more than 1,500 seats across multiple platforms. With software and hardware coming from several suppliers, the company struggled to maintain a single, accurate view of its software licence liability, so it turned to Phoenix Software and its Focus Service, powered by License Dashboard License Manager.

Phoenix Software implemented a managed software asset and licence compliance service that oversees Orbit Group’s full software lifecycle, produces quarterly licence management reports, and checks every software request before approval. The result was stronger compliance, better use of existing licences, removal of unused applications after the first network scan, and improved control over software spend, giving Orbit Group confidence that every pound spent on software delivers real value.
