HUD completed the same audit. Initial findings on paid software licenses:

– 35,855 ServiceNow licenses on three products; only using 84
– 11,020 Acrobat licenses with zero users
– 1,776 Cognos licenses; only using 325
– 800 WestLaw Classic licenses; only using 216
– 10,000 Java

A recent audit conducted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has revealed significant discrepancies in software license utilization across several key products. The findings indicate that the agency holds an overwhelming 35,855 ServiceNow licenses but only utilizes 84, raising questions about resource allocation and efficiency. Additionally, 11,020 Acrobat licenses remain completely unused, while 1,776 Cognos licenses show a minimal usage of only 325. The audit also highlights 800 WestLaw Classic licenses, with only 216 actively in use, and a staggering 10,000 Java licenses, the details of which have yet to be fully disclosed.

These revelations prompt a critical examination of HUD’s software procurement strategies and overall management of digital resources, emphasizing the need for better oversight and potential cost-saving measures. As government agencies face increasing pressure to operate efficiently, this audit serves as a wake-up call to reassess software licensing practices and optimize taxpayer dollars.
