a major U.S. county government realizes 315% ROI with SHI International Corp.

A major U.S. county government was facing significant challenges due to its outdated and decentralized IT infrastructure, which created software compliance issues, security risks, and difficulties in managing its software estate across multiple independent agencies. To address these legacy system problems and streamline operations, the county engaged SHI International Corp. for its Software Asset Management (SAM) Managed Service.

SHI implemented its SAM Managed Service to provide comprehensive software asset management, utilizing proprietary tools to analyze data from both on-premises and cloud environments. This solution delivered a 315% return on investment in 2024 alone, remediating $190,000 in risk and achieving $399,000 in cost optimization by addressing underutilized software subscriptions. SHI also provided customized reporting that empowered agency stakeholders and significantly reduced the number of end-of-life software titles in use.
