Case Study: Large Energy Company reduces IT complexity and saves $4M with SoftwareONE Application Portfolio Management

Large Energy Company - Customer Case Study

Large Energy Company turned to SoftwareONE after an acquisition left it with a bloated, duplicated on-premises IT landscape across Canada and the US. The company needed to rationalise applications, reduce costs, and prepare its environment for a future cloud migration, but it lacked a formal application portfolio management practice and the internal resources to manage the effort alone.

Using SoftwareONE’s Application Portfolio Management (APM) methodology, the company consolidated application data, identified unused and duplicate systems, and built a centralised in-house APM practice. SoftwareONE helped the energy company reduce its application count by 55% and save USD 4M in licensing and maintenance costs in year 1, while improving visibility, governance, and readiness for cloud migration.
