Case Study: Telefónica UK achieves software licence cost avoidance with Version 1 SAM Managed Service

Telefónica UK avoids a software true-up overstatement with Version 1 in 3 months

Telefónica UK, a major telecommunications provider, faced challenges in effectively managing its complex software assets and ensuring license compliance amidst rapid IT changes. To minimize the risk of unexpected costs from vendor audits and to gain expert oversight, they engaged Version 1 for a SAM Managed Service.

Version 1 implemented a three-year SAM Managed Service, providing governance, optimized processes, and expert consultancy. This collaboration resulted in significant cost avoidance, exemplified when Version 1's analysis corrected an overstated software 'true up' position with a leading global vendor. The service delivered substantial savings on licenses, subscriptions, and support, establishing Version 1 as a trusted adviser for Telefónica UK.
