JYSK goes for LicenseWatch

JYSK and Rene Kristiansen, Manager IT Infrastructure, have gone for LicenseWatch. JYSK is a globally-oriented company that currently has 1,400 stores in 32 countries and 14,000 employees. JYSK's ambition is to be the market leader in everything for the bedroom, bathroom, window, living room and patio.

Situation

The Danish brand JYSK stands for credibility – a deal is a deal. So sourcing a software asset management solution was a natural move for us. We were focused on getting an automated solution for guaranteed compliance even if we are continually expanding massively on multiple markets and are represented in many countries.

Solution

We use LicenseWatch to keep our license portfolio under control. Via metering, we have a means of checking how many of the licenses installed are actually being used. Our LicenseWatch solution runs on top of a Microsoft SMS solution. The implementation process was relatively fast without many hitches.

Benefits

With LicenseWatch we are now in a position to cost-optimise our use of software licenses. At the same time, we can ensure that our portfolio of license agreements is optimal in relation to each individual licensor. Based on the quarterly compliance reports, we ensure that we are license-compliant, and we can bring up a statement any time we like.
