When performance data and licensing intelligence come together, the results speak for themselves. That was the central message of our recent webinar featuring LicenseFortress Co-Founders Dean Bolton and Dr. Michael Corey, along with Mick McGuinness, Co-Founder and Head of Product at DBmarlin.
The discussion explored how integrating ArxPlatform from LicenseFortress with DBmarlin's performance monitoring capabilities gives organizations a unified, data-driven view of their database environments. Together, these tools empower teams to optimize workloads, avoid compliance risks, and eliminate unnecessary software spend—all while improving performance and simplifying management.
Paraphrasing from what Dean Bolton said during the session:
"Who is this for? Anyone who has a database. And anyone who purchased licenses for that database."
That sentiment captures the essence of the integration—it's not limited to a single vendor or industry. Any organization managing databases can benefit from connecting real-time performance data with licensing intelligence to rightsize their environments and maximize value.
A recent public utility provider is proof of that impact. By combining the visibility of DBmarlin with the licensing intelligence of ArxPlatform, the organization cut its SQL Server licensing costs by 80%. Through rightsizing, they consolidated 200 databases running on 100 virtual machines into just five, reducing annual SQL Server Enterprise Edition costs by nearly $200,000 and accelerating their migration to Azure VMware Service.
