The IT vision at Del Monte Foods called for technology to be a driving force for innovation and productivity enterprisewide. That meant adopting more technologies, paying more in licensing fees, and spending more time managing licenses. To avoid that cost and hassle, Del Monte became a Microsoft Enterprise Client Access License Suite customer. As a result, it has cut its software-licensing expense by 16 percent, saving U.S.$492,000 over three years, even as it increases the range of Microsoft technologies it uses. It estimates the full savings at 50 percent over the cost of individual licenses, saving $1.5 million. Del Monte has increased its rate of technology adoption, putting technology solutions into production up to a year earlier than expected.
