A manufacturing group pays per-seat and per-server BI licensing against an estate that has grown for nine years without anyone retiring anything.

How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

  • Licensing is renewed against total estate size, which only ever grows.
  • No usage telemetry has ever been analysed, so dormant content cannot be distinguished from critical content.
  • Previous cleanup attempts stalled because no team would agree their dashboards were unused.
