A centralized system for managing contracts/vendors and ITSM integration for overall compliance
A payment processing network operator supporting more than 725 million credit and debit card transactions globally was facing visibility issues. Due to lack of insight into IT infrastructure and applications and an inability to assess critical incidents in real-time, the company was losing transactions and business. The client wanted to have a clear visibility on the existing software contracts (both SKU and SAAS based products) including license visibility, renewal, and a complete track of software usage.
Business Challenge
The client had no centralized tool to achieve license compliance across the vendors. There was a lack of visibility on contract renewals with a lot of dollars being spent on software. There was no proper visibility on application usage and no proper utilization of ITSM solution for asset management. The client was also finding it difficult to manage assets without a centralized asset repository.
