Through the use of Sassafras and implementing ITAM practices, The University of Waikato ITS team has been able to reduce the overall computer fleet by 10%, resulting in significant CAPEX and operational savings. This has also led to a lot of new device intelligence in identifying users with multiple devices and more closely associating users with devices, software, and departments in the organisation. We like the automated reporting of usage data and the functionality that Sassafras gives us to help us with good ITAM practices.

We have a 300-client license and it’s one of the most important services we provide for our Researchers. Scientific software is often prohibitively expensive for individuals to buy, particularly in today’s economic environment, and K2 offers us a very elegant solution. I think it’s a great package – easy to install and manage, rock solid and reliable – it hasn’t crashed once in the 7 years we’ve been running it.
