Case Study: The University of Waikato saves over $1M with TeamDynamix

The University of Waikato saves $440K with TeamDynamix

The University of Waikato, a public university in New Zealand, faced drastically changing usage patterns in its computer labs and lacked accurate data on how its IT hardware and software resources were actually being used. Without reliable usage statistics, the university could not efficiently allocate its IT budget or tailor future purchases to meet actual demand. To address this challenge, the university implemented the Sassafras IT Asset Management (ITAM) solution from TeamDynamix.

By deploying TeamDynamix's Sassafras platform, the university gained a comprehensive, data-driven view of its IT asset utilization. This allowed them to identify significant inefficiencies and optimize their computer lab fleet based on actual usage data. As a result, the university identified an initial opportunity to discontinue 213 computers, projecting $440,000 in immediate savings on equipment, installation, and support. Further analysis projected an additional $1.1 million in potential savings, bringing the total projected financial impact to over $1.5 million.
