Customer
Kreis Lippe is a district in the region of Detmold in the north-east of North Rhine Westphalia with the capital Detmold. In total 16 local communities as well as diverse companies are part of the responsibility of its district. Kreis Lippe represents an important part in the economic region of Westphalia.
Challenge
With more than 1.000 workplaces, Kreis Lippe manages a large number of PCs, Notebooks and many more mobile devices. In the past, independent and heterogeneous structures have developed meanwhile transparency of existing software licenses and actual use of applications were neglected.
Therefore, Kreis Lippe decided to conduct a compliance review project together with Raynet as their trusted advisor and Microsoft SAM Gold partner. With this project, Kreis Lippe wanted to be perfectly prepared for an optimized software usage and cost saving contract with their most important software vendor.
Solution
Making use of Raynet’s unique SAM toolset and the long-lasting commercial expertise in fields of software licensing for public enterprises, the project could outperform the customer’s expectations.
After the evaluation period of all inventory data, covering more than 1.000 devices, these data was compared to all commercial license verifications – leading to an initial license balance within short term.
An optimized license balance, which was able to consider usage and even future demand for every single software product was created in four additional steps. In a final discussion, the future software strategies were adapted to the actual requirements of the customer and implemented very cost-efficiently.
