Helping the University of Auckland Drive Smarter Digital Spending

We’re excited to partner with the University of Auckland to help them unlock greater value from their digital investments. Through our advanced cost optimisation platform, we’ll work closely with the university to identify and manage digital expenses more efficiently—whether that’s cloud services, software licences, or other technology resources.
Our platform provides real-time insights into where costs can be optimised, helping the university cut unnecessary spending and maximise the performance of its digital infrastructure. The goal is simple: ensure every tech dollar goes further, aligning with their mission of sustainability, innovation, and operational excellence.
By focusing on smarter digital spending, the University of Auckland is well-positioned to continue offering exceptional learning and research opportunities while maintaining financial responsibility. We’re proud to support them on this journey, making sure their technology investments deliver the greatest possible value.
"The University of Auckland’s forward-thinking approach to technology and education makes them an ideal partner," said YäRKEN CEO, Ravi Kuppan. "We’re excited to work together to drive meaningful change and ensure their digital infrastructure is fully optimised."
This partnership is a key part of the University’s broader strategy to enhance efficiency and sustainability. We’re thrilled to be a part of their vision, delivering solutions that empower them to focus on what matters most—educating students and advancing research.
We look forward to helping the University of Auckland create lasting impact through smarter digital spending. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to collaborate and make a difference.
