Replacing La Trobe University’s Legacy License-Management System
Challenge
La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, was using a patchwork of home-grown systems to manage software licenses. But differences between systems used by various departments made it challenging to distribute software across campus. The IT department also had concerns about the security of these aging, FTP-based systems and the long-term viability of maintaining them. The university needed a solution that could be used to manage their existing digital resources and support cloud licensing and other new models as needed.
Solution
The university chose Kivuto Cloud to replace their existing solution. Kivuto Cloud helped them manage licenses for digital resources, while providing the following additional benefits.
- Simple management of departmental licenses
- The ability to distribute individual license keys directly to users
- Detailed, on-demand reporting
- A secure online portal where students and faculty can self-serve access to software
Results
La Trobe replaced the disparate, unsecure systems used by various departments with a single, central, and secure solution. This gave central IT more control over how software licenses are managed and distributed while providing a streamlined and standardized experience to students and faculty throughout the school. Kivuto Cloud also saved the school the cost of hiring another resource to manage license distribution.
Kivuto Cloud has been so popular that students and faculty have requested that it be used to provide access to all of their digital resources.
