To dramatically boost operational productivity, companies are scrambling to subscribe to numerous AI solutions and pouring their budgets into AI service subscriptions and the high-spec hardware needed to run them. In fact, domestic IT spending in 2024 reached approximately 109 trillion won, showing a steep annual growth rate of 10%.

*"CEO, please provide paid licenses for the coding AI assistant to the entire team, and we also need to introduce three additional top-tier workstations equipped with GPUs for deep learning model testing."*

Faced with these demands from operational departments, IT support and management teams fall into deep contemplation. As corporate IT investment expands, risks naturally increase as well. Adopting new technology is great, but there is no certainty answering the question: "Are the numerous software licenses and expensive equipment we have already purchased truly being utilized to 100% of their capacity?" 🤔

Surprisingly, according to a survey of IT managers in companies with over 100 employees, a whopping 81% are still managing their IT assets using 'Excel'. While embracing the innovative AI era, the underlying infrastructure and systems remain stuck in the outdated ledgers of the 20th century.

True AX is not achieved simply by blindly purchasing the latest AI tools. Without IT Asset Management (ITAM) backed by perfect visibility, AX can instead become a massive corporate risk and a bottomless pit. This is exactly why Sellease is absolutely necessary in the AX era. 💡

1. The Strike Back of 'Shadow AI': The Invisible Security Hole 🚨

The issue of 'Shadow IT,' which employees previously used without the IT department's knowledge, has now evolved into 'Shadow AI,' threatening the very existence of the company.

With the good intention of increasing work efficiency, employees indiscreetly input the company's confidential data or code into various free and paid AI tools. Currently, there are thousands of AI services in the global market, and it is impossible for a company's IT department to identify which AI services its employees are using. This causes serious security issues due to the use of unauthorized AI services. The indiscriminate use of AI software leaves fatal information leakage threats lurking all over the company.

Applying unauthorized policies for SaaS and AI software can never be solved with manual Excel management.

✨ SELLEASE's Perfect Shield: Sellease's all-device agent detects and blocks unauthorized (Shadow) software in real-time. It not only oversees installed software but also allows you to check the usage of browser-based software, SaaS, and AI all at once. It hands you 'real-time control' that is absolutely impossible with Excel.

2. The Illusion of ROI: Millions Leaking Every Month on Unused Licenses 💸

Companies pursuing AX purchase top-spec PCs and endlessly add expensive global SaaS and AI subscription licenses. However, it is very difficult to verify the actual usage of S/W licenses that increase every year. Management is bifurcated between the HR/Admin and IT departments , and duplicate purchases frequently occur because it is difficult to identify unused assets.

For a company with just 50 employees, the costs wasted due to improper management can reach 16 million won annually. This is the bare face of Excel management.

📊 The Shocking Facts Proven by Sellease:

The actual data from clients who have adopted Sellease far exceeds our expectations.

• Reducing Subscription S/W Costs: Upon measuring the usage of Adobe CC, a necessity for the design team, a staggering 40% of users were utilizing the software for less than 30 minutes a month.
• Immediate Action: Sellease accurately detects unused software licenses to realize cost optimization. Simply by reclaiming unused licenses and reallocating them to departments that genuinely need them, massive budgets can be saved immediately.

3. The Dilemma of Purchasing High-Spec Equipment: Questioning the 'Reality' of Hardware Performance ♻️

The waste of hardware infrastructure is just as serious as that of software. In the AI era, employees demand higher CPU, RAM, and GPU capacities, but the utilization of IT and tangible assets is woefully inadequate. Because it is difficult to grasp the actual utilization status of assets, management cannot make informed decisions on whether these expensive equipment investments are justified.

Sellease's hardware monitoring function perfectly resolves this dilemma. Did you know that approximately 20% of PCs distributed to employees remain neglected in an unused state?

🛠️ A Dramatic Cost Reduction Case from a Sellease Client:

*"A developer requested an AI development PC costing tens of millions of won. In the past, we would have immediately submitted the draft, but through Sellease, we first checked the actual usage of the development PCs already distributed. As a result, we discovered PCs that were nearly idle after a project ended, and by reallocating these to the new requester, we prevented massive cost waste."*

Furthermore, the Sellease agent does not interfere with employees' work. Designed as an ultra-lightweight installable agent with no resource worries , it operates lightly, using only 0% CPU even while on standby.

4. Epilogue: There is No Perfect AX Without Perfect Control 🚀

Waking up dormant corporate assets, completely blocking the security threats of Shadow AI, and preventing the waste of expensive software licenses.

We are in an era where we must prove not simply "what equipment do we have," but "how valuably are that equipment and software being used."

Sellease comprehensively manages all devices in a single solution via its all-device agent (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux). Now, the era has opened where IT assets automatically register themselves and report risks.

Together with Sellease, which connects corporate and human trust through data, start waste-free management based on data—not intuition—right now.

For your safest and most powerful AX journey, Sellease will lay that perfect foundation.
