Crayon scores Henkel contract

banner_220x220Crayon has taken over the Software Asset Management (SAM) for Henkel’s main software suppliers. Under the terms of the agreement, Crayon will provide both operational and strategic software license management for the Group’s clients and servers on a worldwide basis.

At Henkel, more than 53,000 employees work with a large variety of different application programs from various software manufacturers. The increasing complexity of software licensing also raises the risk of mis-licensing and mis-purchasing. This contradicts the Group’s efforts to ensure licensing compliance and to optimise software procurement and maintenance.

Henkel decided in favour of Crayon as it has a background with license management for major international corporations and many years of experience.

Irmgard Arends-Koch, Head of Service Integration at Henkel said: “”Together with Crayon, we want to ensure that Henkel is properly licensed and able to stand up to the legal review of manufacturers and auditors,” says. “We are pleased to have Crayon at our side as a strong and experienced partner.”

The common interest in achieving efficiency gains is also reflected in the services’ remuneration model, which rewards both actual savings and proven cost prevention.
