In today’s hybrid IT environments, organizations are under increasing pressure to manage sprawling software estates, maintain compliance across multiple vendors and control rising license costs, all while ensuring operational agility.

For a global leader in commercial transport solutions, this challenge was amplified by scale and complexity.

With over 100,000 end-user devices and 15,000 servers, and a diverse ecosystem of Tier 1 and 100+ Tier 2 software vendors, including IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, ServiceNow and Salesforce, the organization lacked a unified view of its software assets. Limited visibility, fragmented ownership and inconsistent data processes were creating compliance risks and cost inefficiencies.

To address this, the client engaged HCLTech’s Software Asset Management (SAM) Center of Excellence, leveraging Flexera’s industry-leading technology platform.

The goal: to establish a unified, insight-driven SAM capability aligned to best practices and HCLTech’s proven transformation methodology.

HCLTech leveraged its deep SAM expertise and a proven transformation framework, powered by Flexera One, to deliver an end-to-end program focused on data integrity, platform modernization, process automation and continuous optimization.

Key Enablers for Successful Transformation

By leveraging HCLTech’s SAM expertise and Flexera’s technology, the client successfully transformed its Software Asset Management function from a fragmented, reactive process into a centralized, insight-driven and cost-optimized capability.

Today, SAM is no longer just about compliance; it is a strategic lever for cost control, risk mitigation and smarter IT decision-making in an increasingly complex hybrid environment.
