Welch Allyn Uses SoftWatch Analytic Services to Optimize Its Microsoft License Spending

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — (Marketwired) — 09/21/15 — SoftWatch, a leader in Application Usage Analytics, announced today that Welch Allyn, a leading global manufacturer of medical diagnostic devices, has used SoftWatch–s CloudIT and OptimizeIT cloud services to analyze its current usage of Microsoft applications and optimize its Microsoft license budget.

At first, Welch Allyn performed an assessment phase, using SoftWatch–s CloudIT service to analyze the current actual usage of different Microsoft applications, including MS Office, Visio and Project by the company employees. The main purpose of the assessment phase was to ensure compliance of the company with the purchased Microsoft licenses. The results enabled Welch Allyn to put in place a process to recycle licenses to employees based on actual usage, and remove unused MS Visio and MS Project licenses.

Following the assessment phase, Welch Allyn utilized the SoftWatch OptimizeIT service to execute the license optimization plan and maintain license compliance.
