Case Studies
Delivering Success
See how we have helped our clients optimise their IBM investments.
Global Manufacturer
Substantial audit settlement reduction
An IBM audit had identified $28M non-compliance fee, the client was unsure of their position and reporting obligations.
Insight provided support through data collection, analysis and validation, delivering accurate reporting based on the applicable licensing metrics across their IBM estate.
Insight helped the client challenge the audit findings and reduce the settlement down to $1M and included a two-year grace period for reporting and verification.
Global Manufacturer and Retailer
Optimisation delivers results
Client had global deployments of strategic IBM applications across 16 entities, and recent changes to their environment meant they were unable to correctly measure licensing requirements, resulting in a $12M compliance risk.
Insight identified significant exposures and wastage through a baseline analysis. Through changing the client’s deployment model, we enabled a more efficient way of licensing users which reduced their licensable footprint.
This resulted in a reduction in licensing position worth over $12 million, which was later validated through a painless IBM audit with zero value compliance outcome.
European Automotive Company
Correct reporting reduces audit risks
Client had deployed IBM’s ILMT but had not actively maintained the tool, which was creating reporting issues and increased risk of audit non-compliance.
Insight’s experts identified all the issues causing malfunctions and incorrect reporting. We delivered updated agents and fixed connections to produce accurate compliance reports.
As a result of updating and configuring ILMT correctly the client was able to remove an audit exposure of over $300K.
