Editor's Notes US Foods was like a lot of companies using ineffective tools and manual process to try and stay on top of software asset management. However, as their environment grew they were falling further behind in software asset management and using up increasing amounts of IT resource trying to reconcile software license across their 67 sites. With IBM Endpoint Manager they were quickly able to collect the information they needed across all their endpoints and save a significant amount of time. In addition to time, they also saved $500K on software licenses that were not being used or rarely used, by down grading the licenses to a less expensive version of the software. They were also able to bring their endpoints into license compliance avoiding one million dollars in license noncompliance fines. With these kinds of savings, it is easy to see how software asset management quickly became a self funding project for them and allowed IT resources to be moved to higher value projects.Transition: Let’s look at some of the savings that other customers we have worked with have discovered.
