How DRMP Saved on Software Costs Through Licensing Optimization
Managing software costs without compromising productivity is crucial. DRMP, a multi-discipline civil infrastructure firm, achieved significant savings by partnering with IMAGINiT to optimize their Autodesk software licensing strategy.
The Challenge: Managing Growth While Controlling Software Costs
As DRMP experienced rapid growth, they faced increasing software expenses to accommodate new hires. With Autodesk Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and other Autodesk solutions integral to their operations, licensing costs quickly became a major concern. DRMP needed a strategy that allowed them to scale efficiently without unnecessary spending.
The Solution: Data-Driven Licensing Optimization
IMAGINiT, DRMP’s trusted technology partner, stepped in with a business intelligence-driven approach. They conducted a thorough licensing analysis, leveraging usage reports to identify employees with low software utilization. This insight enabled IMAGINiT to recommend transitioning from a perpetual licensing model to a cost-effective flex-token system.
ROI: Immediate Savings and Long-Term Value
The impact was immediate. IMAGINiT’s analysis revealed that several users did not require full-time licenses. By shifting these users to flex tokens, DRMP saved thousands of dollars. For example, rather than purchasing three new licenses at an estimated cost of $30,000, DRMP spent only a fraction of that amount by utilizing flex tokens for occasional users. “Software licensing is a significant expense, especially during rapid growth,” said Brian Qualls, IMAGINiT’s account executive. “By identifying underutilized licenses and implementing a flex-token system, we helped DRMP reduce costs while maintaining operational efficiency.”
A Partnership That Delivers Results
Beyond licensing optimization, IMAGINiT’s comprehensive support, including targeted training and cloud workflow enhancements, has empowered DRMP to maximize their Autodesk investments. DRMP’s Senior Manager of Production Technology, Jason Cashion, shared: “IMAGINiT isn’t just a vendor; they’re a partner invested in our success. They help us stay ahead of technology trends while ensuring cost-efficiency.”
