Case Study: Albuquerque Public Schools cuts software licensing costs with Sassafras Software

Major School District reduces licensing costs and increases availability of software to educators with K2 KeyAuditor & KeyServer

Albuquerque Public Schools, which serves 88,000 students and manages 30,000 computers with a small IT team, faced a common challenge: software requests exceeded the budget. To control costs and better understand true demand, the district turned to Sassafras Software and its K2 KeyAuditor & KeyServer platform.

Using Sassafras Software’s K2 to audit usage, deploy licenses, and reclaim unused software, Kennedy Middle School was able to align purchases with actual needs. The results included significant savings such as over $8,000 on FileMaker Pro, $5,000 on Microsoft Office 2004, and $7,500 on iWork, while also improving software availability and management across the school district.
