Is This Service Right for You?
If any of the following situations sound familiar, this service was built for you.
01

You suspect you're overpaying for Microsoft licenses

Most EA customers are. Between E5 licenses assigned to users who only need E3, unused Power Platform add-ons, and Azure reservations burning at low utilization — the waste adds up fast.

02

Your EA renewal is approaching and you need optimization data

The best time to optimize is 6-12 months before renewal. We give you the usage data and recommendations that transform your renewal negotiation from reactive to strategic.

03

You've had leadership changes or M&A activity

Organizational changes create Microsoft licensing sprawl. Acquisitions bring duplicate licenses, divestitures leave stranded entitlements, and nobody tracks what's actually needed.

Our Approach
We don't just analyze. We arm you — with data, leverage, and control.

License Usage & Utilization Analysis

We analyze actual usage across your M365, Azure, and on-premises estate — identifying underutilized licenses, dormant accounts, and over-provisioned SKUs. Hard data, not estimates.

SKU Right-Sizing Recommendations

We map every user to the optimal Microsoft license tier based on their actual usage patterns. E5 users who only use E3 features? We flag them. Standalone add-ons vs. suite licenses? We model both options.

Azure Cost Optimization

We analyze your Azure consumption for right-sizing opportunities, reservation optimization, hybrid benefit utilization, and workload placement — typically finding 20-30% savings.

EA Restructuring Roadmap

We deliver a comprehensive restructuring plan aligned to your renewal timeline — including recommended license mix, Azure commitment levels, and negotiation targets backed by optimization data.

Redress Compliance found $4.8M in annual waste in our Microsoft EA — including 3,000 E5 licenses that should have been E3, and Azure reservations running at 40% utilization. We restructured everything before renewal and saved $12M over the three-year term.
