Challenge

Dutch organisation with a challenging business case, is there truly any savings potential possible given the limited IBM software landscape?

The solution

The Noventiq's IBM experts helped to get to grip on the IBM landscape & contracts, by:

analysing the contracts, and yearly Subscription & Support fees
shifting the focus to IBM software and correct housekeeping
introducing a proven methodology (o.w. audit agreement) that can even be re-used for other software publishers as well

The results

Clean Auditor Report, with no findings
Yearly savings on the IBM Renewal
From 204k to 119k, a yearly saving of 85k ⇒ 42 %
For 5 software products the yearly S&S has been stopped
For 2 products the numbers can probably further reduce per July 1st. 2019
Prevented a potential financial exposure of 1.6 Mio regarding PVU Sub-Capacity Conditions
Double number of licenses have been stopped
Clarity on Sub-Capacity conditions regarding InfoSphere software (no need for ILMT)
