Cost Neutrality & Manual Processes
A top-ranked university in the US was looking for a more efficient and cost-effective way to distribute software on campus, while incorporating more consistency into their processes and the end-user experience. The school’s IT Services Software Licensing Team was tasked with finding a way to accomplish this.
This institution faced financial and logistical barriers to improving their license-distribution process. Their three most significant challenges are summarized below.
The challenges of manually fulfilling orders with a small team in an efficient and cost-neutral fashion led the Software Licensing Team to look into third-party solutions. This, in turn, led them to Kivuto.
To meet the school’s requirements and address their pain points, Kivuto recommended its flagship product – Kivuto Cloud
Kivuto Cloud is a central platform through which schools can manage and distribute any type of digital resource to students, faculty, and staff. With advanced security and compliance-enforcement features, insightful reporting, and optional e-commerce capabilities, Kivuto Cloud is built for the complexities of managing licenses and entitlements in higher education.
The Software Licensing Team faced a difficult balancing act in their goal to limit costs while improving efficiencies. Here’s how Kivuto Cloud helped them overcome these challenges.
Today students and faculty can self-serve access to the software they need and be ready to use it within minutes. The Software Licensing Team no longer has to manually fulfil orders and process payments, as Kivuto Cloud has automated all of those processes. Cost recovery has made it easier for the team to remain cost-neutral, and improved efficiencies have allowed the school to optimize costs even further by reallocating valuable IT resources.
For over 20 years, Kivuto has transformed the way academic software is delivered. Today, Kivuto streamlines the management and delivery of academic digital resources through Kivuto Cloud – a secure and centralized platform for schools to offer any type of digital resource to their students, faculty, and staff.
