Case Study: COBIS achieves IBM compliance and cuts risk by 97.5% with SoftwareOne IBM Advisory Services

Erasing risks and achievieng IBM compliance

COBIS, a US-based multinational banking software company, needed to support expansion into new markets while maintaining strong software asset control and IBM licensing compliance across internal teams and customer installations. To address the complexity of IBM middleware licensing and the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT), COBIS engaged SoftwareONE for IBM Advisory Services.

SoftwareONE reviewed COBIS’s IBM contract risks, assessed software usage with ILMT, and helped improve license management across environments and customer sites. The result was full IBM compliance, a 97.5% reduction in compliance risk and potential expense, reduced staff time spent on compliance management, and a stronger ongoing strategic partnership with SoftwareONE.
