LicenseWatch provides savings and manageability within the Danish Ministry of the Environment

The Danish Ministry of the Environment and license administrator René Palm made savings in the software budget as a result of the implementation of LicenseWatch. The Ministry consists of four agencies and seven independent Environment Centres dedicated to achieving positive nature and environment outcomes. A total of 3,900 clients are connected to the Ministry's network.

Situation

As part of the structural reform in Denmark, the Ministry of the Environment acquired 750 new employees and their software licenses. This called for an automated license management solution for license manageability. The procurement was approved by management because the Ministry stood to make savings on its software budget.

Solution

LicenseWatch was selected because the solution integrates readily with Active Directory and Microsoft SMS – besides which Microsoft recommended the solution to us. The option for metering using LicenseWatch is very important. A lot of the Ministry staff are heavy license users.

Benefits

We anticipate savings in excess of $75,000 on our software budget just within the first year of using LicenseWatch. We use the licenses where needed and achieve better licensing deals thanks to our complete overview of current licenses. The user interface is intuitive, and the solution is easy to work with. We have an overview of what we have and what we use.
