Airlines · Case study
Aligning an airline’s software licenses with actual needs.
An airline reduced server and user-software spending by reviewing license coverage, maintenance commitments and subscription tiers.
Client context
The business context.
An airline reviewed its server and user-software estate to align purchased license coverage and subscription levels with its requirements. The scope included enterprise and client-access licensing as well as cloud productivity subscriptions.
The review needed to distinguish required access rights from optional coverage and higher subscription tiers. License quantities, maintenance arrangements and user entitlements each contributed to the cost base.
The work
How the engagement was delivered.
Reassess license coverage
Reviewed the enterprise and client-access license base against requirements and adjusted the purchased coverage. Re-evaluated software-assurance expenditure as part of the same review.
Match subscriptions to user needs
Moved higher-tier productivity subscriptions to lower tiers where the additional entitlement was not required, reducing the cost of the user-software estate.
What changed
A lower software-spend baseline.
The engagement achieved 20% savings on the server and user-software spend in scope through changes to licensing, assurance and subscription levels.
