Microsoft 365 License Audit

Every year, organizations around the globe end up wasting a significant portion of their budget on preventable licensing mistakes. The goal of our Microsoft 365 License Assessment is to ensure your organization isn’t overspending on unnecessary licenses. Managing Microsoft 365 licenses is no easy task. It seems like they change the names of the subscriptions every other year. In 2022, Microsoft rolled out the New Commerce Experience (NCE) which benefited customers financially by agreeing to annual or multi-year subscriptions, which further complicates the process.

Another overlooked area is not utilizing existing licenses to their full potential. Often, companies aren't aware of all the features their licensed software offers, or they don't train their employees to utilize these tools fully, leading to wasted resources.

Our Microsoft 365 License Audit enables organizations to pinpoint instances of over-licensing or under-licensing, leading to cost savings and enhanced license compliance. The assessment involves a thorough examination of license entitlements, assignments, and usage data. By analyzing this information, areas of improvement are identified to align licenses with actual usage, creating opportunities for cost savings.

The final report resulting from the Microsoft 365 License Audit will include:

• A comprehensive list of current Microsoft 365 licenses utilized by company employees, along with a detailed breakdown of their permissions and usage patterns.
