Audit Anxieties Become a Thing of the Past.

Since their partnership with ITS began, Henry Ford Health System has significantly improved their efficiency and gained a deeper understanding of their software contracts and licensing, putting their compliance anxieties to rest. See how we did it here.

Henry Ford Health System (HFHS), based in Detroit, Michigan, has built their renowned practice upon the mission of improving lives through excellence in the science and art of health care and healing. Comprised of hospitals, medical centers, and one of the nation's largest group practices, HFHS employs over 30,000 employees, making them the fifth-largest employer in metro Detroit.

 

 

HFHS enlisted our help to improve asset management and mitigate risk knowing that an effective IT management system could ultimately lead to saved lives, and we went to work. In a matter of weeks, they identified several key areas prime for immediate and significant improvements.

  • Lifecycle Management - ITS enabled tracking and management of end-to-end lifecycle for software licenses, hardware assets, and cloud, all on one platform.
  • Software Reclamation - ITS optimized licensing by reassigning, reclaiming, and revoking software allocations for users or devices via an automated workflow.
  • Blacklisting Software - ITS ensured compliance by identifying unauthorized software and taking the appropriate steps for removal.

ITS provided a very good partnership, strong relevant experience, and the willingness to put in the extra effort to help the Henry Ford Health System team be successful...We believe ITS' involvement greatly added to our ability to meet all our goals." // Patrick A.MSIS, PMP, Productivity Solutions HFHS Corporate IT
